Our Core Values

Gibran Books and Values Society and those who with it operate by the following core values:

Ethics and Values – unified in the conviction that society needs an ethical bearing, and that with credible value systems, progress is possible.

Sustainability – ensuring that we support the creation of a world where life today is mindful of the needs of life tomorrow.

Mutual respect – requiring us to recognise the innate worth of all people and the value of diversity.

Equity and justice – requiring us to work to ensure equal opportunity for everyone, irrespective of race, age, gender, health status, colour, class, ethnicity, disability, location or religion.

Honesty and transparency – being accountable at all levels for the effectiveness of their actions and open in our judgments and communications with others. Solidarity with people affected by calamity and the powerless and excluded people shall be the only bias in their commitment to the fight against human suffering.

Courage of conviction – requiring us to be creative and radical, bold and innovative without fear of failure - in pursuit of making the greatest possible impact on the causes of education and literacy.

Independence from any religious or party-political affiliation.

Humility and transparency in our presentation and behaviour, recognising that we are part of a wider alliance against ignorance, disease, conflict, and suffering.
