Value fit between SOS Children`s Villages Uganda your Company
SOS CV values Company Values
Reliability: Children need reliable caretakers in order to
develop. Constant and reliable also describes the relation
that SOS CV has with its supporters and partners.
Sustainability: social and ecological sustainability means
maintaining the quality of life for future generations.
Trust: “It is easy to do good, if a lot of people help.” was the
motto of Hermann Gmeiner. We trust that people can move
and change things if they work together.
Unity: Companies rely on the competencies of their
employees and business partners. The collaboration of all
parties is the key to innovation and growth.
Safety: Our Children usually come from unstable
environments. We provide them with a solid basis for
development supported with love and responsibility.
Responsibility: Companies are becoming more aware of
their social responsibility towards the community. This way
they are able to contribute to the wellbeing of the community.
Diversity: As an international organization we live
individuality and diversity and are enriched by every child
and every community where we exist.
Internationality: A company that is able to make use of the
diversity and different backgrounds of its co-workers will be
able to address the various needs of clients.
Openness: We offer our children safety, also financially.
Being open about how we operate is hence vital.
Transparency: Consumers request that companies become
more transparent. Being open internally and externally
creates trust.
Dignity: We don’t look down on children. By valuing children
as individuals we help them gain their dignity.
Respect: A company that respects its employees and
business partners will also benefit from financial gains due to
the increased reputation. Corporate citizenship is a win-win
situation for all parties involved.
Professional competency: We secure the quality of our
caretakers through continuous control and on-going
development of our standards. Hence, we ensure that
children are supported in their development in a professional
and goal-oriented manner.
Professionalism: A company’s success depends on many
factors. High quality work and products and the ability to
adapt to change are some of these factors.
