UICC's values

Inclusiveness and respect

As a global membership organisation, UICC is a transparent and open organisation that embraces diversity. It ensures that staff, members, and partners from diverse countries, backgrounds, experiences and identities feel valued, respected and included. UICC strives every day to place equity at the forefront of its work, so that everyone benefits from efforts to reduce the global cancer burden.

Excellence and engagement

UICC is committed to excellence in its activities and to pursuing its mission and vision with passion. It seeks to build relations with its environment for the mutual benefit of the organisation and its members and partners.  

Integrity and trust

UICC staff members demonstrate collegiality and teamwork with fellow colleagues, members, and partners, showing high integrity and trusted behaviour that allow the organisation to thrive.  

Environmental sustainability

UICC is committed to strengthening the sustainability of its activities, whenever possible, by reducing its environmental impact.

Social equity and gender balance

A concern for social equity and gender balance in cancer control is the red thread that runs through all of UICC’s projects and activities, its advocacy agenda, its member and partner relations, and capacity building mission, the selection process for panel speakers at the World Cancer Congress and other events, and its organisational policies. In terms of internal processes, UICC is a longstanding equal opportunity employer located at the heart of International Geneva.

UICC does not tolerate any form of discriminatory, or abusive behaviour towards any group or individual and has policies in place to address potential cases of harassment and discrimination.
