Our Principles

Our global operation is guided by steadfast values that ensure the effectiveness and trustworthiness of our efforts. We operate with neutrality, refraining from involvement in political, racial, or ideological controversies, which allows us to engage in crisis scenarios without bias. We are committed to impartiality, providing assistance solely based on need, without discrimination based on race, belief, or nationality of those we serve.

We Uphold

Full functional and decisional independence

At Mandatum, we ensure that all our resources are dedicated solely to our statutory purposes. Our commitment to transparency is a fundamental principle; we uphold the highest standards of integrity in resource management by subjecting our administration to rigorous external audits from internationally recognised firms, thereby fostering trust among our partners and enhancing the effectiveness of our mission.

Faith and Moral Foundation

Mandatum is founded on a profound set of values rooted in Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman traditions. This faith drives our moral commitment to uphold the dignity of every human being as made in the image of God. However, our confessional identity serves as a moral foundation rather than a barrier; we actively engage in the Church’s evangelising mission through acts of charity, and we welcome individuals of all faiths and beliefs who share our unwavering dedication to serving humanity. Our governance and honours system are governed by our Sovereign Statutes, ensuring legal stability and the trust essential for operating with integrity and effectiveness on the international stage.

Confidentiality

Names of Authorities and Members

The confidentiality of the names of our authorities and members is crucial for the security of our operations in challenging environments. Each appointment is validated through an official certificate featuring a unique number that can be verified on our website. This system strengthens our commitment to transparency and trust, ensuring that everyone can confirm the legitimacy of those involved in our humanitarian mission.
