The HHF Way Our code of conduct
The Helping Hand Foundation code of conduct (the HHF Way) helps staff around the world keep our programs firmly directed toward the wellbeing of our clients, while meeting the expectations of our donors as responsible stewards of their resources.
The HHF way is available in 13 languages: Arabic, Dari, English, French, German, Greek, Kurdish (Sorani), Pashto, Polish, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian and Urdu.
What is the HHF Way?
The HHF Way describes the four core values of Integrity, Service, Accountability and Equality, and the undertakings that flow from them:
Integrity
We are open, honest and trustworthy in dealing with clients, partners, co-workers, donors, funders and the communities we affect.
Accountability
We are accountable—individually and collectively—for our behaviors, actions and results.
Service
We are responsible to the people we serve and the donors who enable our service.
Equality
We strive for equal outcomes for all clients and colleagues by promoting equitable access to opportunities and services.
The aim of our code of conduct is to ensure that we carry out our work following the ethical and moral principles that support our humanitarian calling. Upholding this code is a responsibility shared by all involved in delivering on the HHF’s mission. It applies to all HHF directors, officers, employees, interns, volunteers, incentive staff and partners who work on behalf of the HHF.
