Our values

Our values define how we act, both within and outside our organization. They guide our collective way of working, our relationships with partners and the entities we challenge, and provide a clear framework for our commitment to transforming finance. They reflect the way we work: with solidarity, integrity, and tenacity, driving a vision of justice built on accountability, the protection of rights, and equity.

Solidarity

We are convinced that the transformations we fight for can only be built together.

We foster a culture of mutual support, listening, and collective responsibility. In our daily work, solidarity means teamwork, knowledge-sharing, supporting one another through challenges, and remaining mindful of how our decisions affect others.

It also guides our action alongside the organizations, movements, and individuals working toward ecological and social justice.

Finally, our solidarity extends to the people and communities most impacted by ecological crises, human rights violations, and discrimination. Their lived experiences inform our understanding of the issues and fuel our determination to act.

Integrity

Our credibility rests on our commitment to rigor, transparency, and intellectual honesty. We ground our analyses, positions, and campaigns in verified facts, transparent methodologies, and explicit criteria.

  • We acknowledge progress where it happens, including among the actors we hold accountable.
  • We always prioritize the strength of our arguments over polemics or personal attacks.
  • We ensure our internal operations are consistent with the transformations we champion publicly.

Tenacity

Transforming the financial sector requires time, perseverance, and the ability to act for the long haul.

We know that systemic change is rarely swift and that resistance is formidable.

We pursue our goals steadfastly, even when results take time, adapting our strategies and learning from experience to deliver lasting change.

Our compass: justice

Justice is the ultimate goal driving our action.

We fight to ensure that those responsible for ecological and social crises are held accountable.

We champion a transformation of the financial system that protects human rights, nature, and future generations, while taking into account power imbalances and distinct responsibilities.

We seek to reform financial rules, practices, and decisions so that they contribute to a fairer distribution of responsibilities, risks, and burdens, and strengthen protection for the most affected people and territories.
