Core Values

We aim to make the greatest possible positive difference with the financial and organisational resources at our disposal. Together with partners, we strive to accelerate their impact. We maintain a constant focus on continuously improving ourselves in all our functions. We aspire to lead by example

We are always in motion and strive for continuous learning and development. In collaboration with our partners, we drive change forward with equal parts enthusiasm and respect. With an innovative, attentive, and pioneering approach, we seek to be at the forefront of our field.

We recognise the privilege we have and the responsibility that comes with our resources and our long-standing history. We stand behind our work and therefore are transparent about it and our results.

We base our strategies and efforts on a high degree of expertise, evidence, research, and data. At the same time, we aim to contribute to evidence and sound decisions in our areas. New knowledge is made accessible to all.

We deeply respect our partners' expertise and perspectives. In collaboration with them, we always seek to listen and learn so that together we can move forward with a shared understanding and vision. Through openness and responsiveness, we establish trusting relationships that contribute to a sustainable and long-term process of change.
