A member company respects three basic principles:

  1. Awareness of its role in society and responsibility to companies, clients and to the community in which it does business, as well as to the whole society.
  2. Systematic, transparent, and long-term support of public-benefit activities. A responsible business acts upon the needs of society and supports the areas of greatest need. It voluntarily supports also unusual projects aimed at providing assistance to those in need.
  3. Commitment to protect the environment and use of a wide range of tools to reduce the impact of its activities.
