The Core Values

 

Core values are the fundamental beliefs upon which our activities and our behaviour are based. They are the guiding principles that we use to manage our internal affairs as well as our relationship with all external stakeholders. And they are a cornerstone for shaping a unique profile of the ISMF. If these values shall become authentic, it will be important that leadership stands behind and everyone at the ISMF will be held responsible for them.
