# Our values

### In all our work, we strive to embody our values by:

- engaging in dialogue and debate rationally, intelligently, and with evidence;
- recognising the dignity of individuals and treating them with fairness and respect;
- respecting and promoting freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law;
- taking opportunities to combat all forms of prejudice and unfair discrimination;
- cooperating with others for the common good, including those of different beliefs;
- celebrating human achievement, progress, and potential;
- accepting that human beings are part of a wider natural world which must be treated sustainably for the sake of current and future generations.

As well as shaping how we work as part of [our strategy](https://humanists.uk/about/our-strategy/), our values also form part of the code of conduct for all our personnel, including those providing services to the public.
