OUR CORE VALUES

 

WE ARE COMPETENT

We are recognised in our field. We actively use our expertise in economics, law, urban planning, architecture, transport, agricultural engineering, biology, chemistry and other fields to support our environmental work. We also apply the latest scientific findings and international experience in our work.

WE ARE INDEPENDENT

We work independently of political, economic and other interests, in the sole spirit of our values and our statutes, and represent our professional position. We firmly maintain our independence from political parties.

WE RESPECT THE RULES

In our activities, we comply with the law, the unwritten rules of democratic coexistence and general ethical standards.

WE HAVE NO SECRETS

We expect all actors in society - especially those who use public funds - to operate in a transparent and accountable manner, and we do so ourselves.

WE PROVIDE HELP

We are committed to enhancing opportunities for public participation, freedom of information and consultation, and democracy. In our work, we give priority to representing groups whose advocacy capacity is weak and who come to us with problems that are relevant to our work.

VALUES OF INTERNAL FUNCTIONING

 

A GOOD INTERNAL CLIMATE

The Clean Air Action Group is a democratic organisation. We are proud of the fact that we operate according to civic values: a culture of debate, respect for each other, solidarity, honesty, openness and tolerance.

PERSONAL COMMITMENT

As members and staff, we are individually committed to the organisation, its values and its mission. As individuals and in our profession, we lead a law-abiding, ethical and environmentally responsible lifestyle.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

We strive to respond effectively to changing circumstances through well-organised operations. To this end, our tasks and responsibilities are clearly defined, our projects are well planned and their implementation and operation are regularly monitored.
