The code of conduct and ethics of the Luxembourg Red Cross (hereinafter referred to as the “Code”) defines the key principles governing the behaviour of every person acting in the name of the Luxembourg Red Cross in order to implement its mission statement.
The principles set out are structured around three main pillars: respect for human dignity, ethical and responsible conduct, and compliance with the law, the principles of the Movement, and the organization’s own rules.
Respect for the Code helps ensure a safe and inclusive environment, guarantees respectful relationships within the organization, and prevents situations that could harm the mission, principles, and reputation of the Luxembourg Red Cross.
This Code complements the statutes of the Luxembourg Red Cross and the organization’s internal rules, the fundamental principles and statutes of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, professional codes of ethics, national and international agreements, as well as the laws and regulations in force governing the activities of the Red Cross.
Each actor commits to becoming familiar with and complying with all the articles of this Code.
Entities and services that wish to formalize more specific rules of conduct tailored to their activities may supplement this Code with a specific code of conduct or internal regulations. The terms of such documents must be consistent with this Code and are subject to the principles set out below.
