Humanitarian principles
The humanitarian principles are at the centre of FSD’s actions.
Humanity
Our first purpose is to save lives and to relieve suffering wherever it occurs.
Impartiality
We implement our actions on the basis of needs, giving the priority to the most urgent, without any discrimination.
Neutrality
We don’t take sides in armed conflicts or political or ideological controversies within a state.
Independence
We carry our actions as independently as possible of any political, economic or military agenda.
Our engagements
Preservation of the environment
To guarantee a minimal impact on our planet, we develop our projects in accordance with our environmental policy. We strive to reduce our carbon emissions and follow the 3Rs strategy (reduce, reuse, recycle).
Finding innovative solutions
We invest in research and development to provide the most effective assistance to our beneficiaries, including through the use of new technologies in the field.
Maintaining a close link
with the communities
We maintain a constant dialogue with local communities and adapt our activities according to the context and cultures encountered to best meet their needs.
Creating local opportunities
In each of our projects, we recruit and train our staff locally to promote employment, especially in post-conflict areas, where the economy has been deteriorated.
Transparency & accountability
We follow strict rules to ensure a full financial transparency as well as for the reporting on our humanitarian activities to our donors, to our beneficiaries and to the public.
Promoting diversity in our projects
To promote diversity, we comply with our gender, diversity and inclusion policy, both in the implementation of our programmes and in human resources.
