Kopernik exists to improve poor people’s lives. Everything else is secondary.
We will respond to people’s actual needs and demands – we will never be supply driven.
In addition to technology – we will provide access to new opportunities and skills for our clients.
We aim to empower rather than create dependency.
We will always have regular and open communication with all of our
supporters and partners.
We will make sure that our donors’ good intentions don’t go to waste.
We will be fully transparent about our activities so that they will know where and how their funds are spent.
We produce the highest quality and complete outputs on time, all the time.
No excuses – we get things done.
We value action. Talk is cheap.
We are always honest and ethical.
We are always thinking of ways to improve the way we operate.
If we see a problem, rather than complaining about it we will come up with a better way to do things and take the lead in implementing it.
We learn from our own and other organizations’ experiences.
We acknowledge when things go wrong and learn from it.
We always evaluate the performance of our projects, technologies and internal processes and make improvements where necessary.
Every member of the Kopernik team has a positive attitude and is supportive and respectful of one another.
Though we all work independently, we will always communicate with the rest of the team on what we do to ensure that everyone is kept up to date on one another’s progress.
Sharing is caring. We will always share knowledge with each other because we believe in cooperation and teamwork.
We come to work with a smile.
We never raise our voices, we don’t talk down to each other, we don’t talk behind people’s backs, we don’t send rude emails or text messages.
