Our Values, Mission and Commitment
Values
CIH's values are a set of shared beliefs that guide our conduct and relationships with our stakeholders. They form an important set of principles that shapes the professional conduct of our members across the housing industry. They are:
- Respect others
- Act with integrity
- Take responsibility
- Maintain professional competence
- Make a difference
Mission
We exist to maximise the contribution that housing professionals make to the wellbeing of communities, working to transform the lives of the most vulnerable in society.
In 1864, Octavia Hill had an aim - to make 'lives noble, homes happy and family life good'.
We believe this has never been more important.
Commitment
- Our work is driven by a passionate belief that our contribution as housing professionals is vital to making communities great places to live and work
- We are committed to being an organisation in which everybody can participate, regardless of age, gender, transgender, disability, religion or other beliefs, race, sexual orientation, social background or family or care responsibilities
- We are committed to improving the diversity of our organisation, our membership, and to equipping housing professionals with the knowledge to promote equality and diversity across the housing sector
- We are committed to managing our business in a socially and environmentally responsible way
- We are committed to promoting green issues across the sector and encouraging housing organisations to develop and implement strategies to protect the environment in which we live
We don’t do the work that we do because we should; we do it because we can and because we believe in the power of housing professionals to change lives.
If that’s a mission you can subscribe to we’d love you to work with us.
