Values

We take as fundamental values liberty, equality, respect to human rights, justice and peace, democratic and social values that help us building a free and equal society. Some other shared values that must be an imperative for action for all of Sant Pau’s UNS group are:

• Responsibility, understood as the value that helps us in reaching decisions consciously and freely, accepting the consequences resulting from those decisions and respond to them in front of to whom it might concern without diverting one’s responsibility to others, nor diminishing it amongst third parties or the collective. It implies a consistent performance committed to our mission, vision and values, being transparent and held accountable beyond that prescribed by legislation. 
• Respect is the kind of value that helps us recognise, accept, appreciate and assess other’s qualities and their rights. That means respect is the acknowledgement of the values of individual’s and society’s rights.
• The compromise, understood as being personally involved in what is being done, understand not only what it really is but also what it should be according to justice, fundamental value expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, one’s ethical option with other people or organisations.
