The Fraternity – International Humanitarian Federation (FIHF) is a humanitarian, charitable and environmental defense organization that, through the selfless service of its collaborators, has the mission of disseminating fellowship, love and universal peace.
Among the principles that permeate its actions and that of its affiliates, there are: Equality, Independence, Impartiality, Neutrality, Transparency, Respect for the Law, Morality, Consideration for Collaborators and Respect for Human Rights.
In order for those principles to be respected and practiced, a Compliance Program was created, the basis of which has a Code of Ethics and Conduct, so that all its workers, collaborators, volunteers, affiliates, partners or those who have any kind of legal, institutional or commercial connection with the Humanitarian Fraternity (FIHF) and/or with its affiliated associations take them into account in carrying out their activities.
What is Compliance?
The term ‘Compliance’ means “to be in accordance with” acts, standards and laws, to commit to integrity. In the corporate sphere, an organization “in compliance” is one that, by strictly complying with and observing the legislation to which it is subject, and applying ethical principles in its decision-making, preserves its integrity and resilience.

The Humanitarian Fraternity (FIHF) is starting its Compliance program with the adoption of a Code of Ethics and Conduct and with the creation of an internal complaints Channel that will be permanently monitored.
There will also be continuous trainings for all its collaborators, so they can understand the Program and are able to integrate it and put it into practice.
