Independently of the different principles that govern the behaviour of MAPFRE GROUP and FUNDACIÓN MAPFRE, according to the different nature of its activities, the behaviour of the entities within the SISTEMA MAPFRE should adjust to the following principles:

• Independence with regard to all persons, organizations, groups or powers of any kind.
• Ethically and socially responsible behaviour, in recognition of the function and responsibility corresponding to private entities in the proper development and progress of Society, and which should result in the respect for the legitimate rights of all individuals or corporations they are related with and of that of Society in general. 

In this spirit, MAPFRE takes part in the United Nations Global Compact and in the Protocol of the United Nations Environment Programme, and chooses to embrace in an effective way the commitments to human rights and sustainable development that are featured in these accords.

• Humanism, understood as the special attention paid to persons, based on the conviction that those who make up the SISTEMA MAPFRE are an essential part thereof, and which entails that the relations among them must be governed by mutual respect and human values such as tolerance, cordiality and solidarity, in such a way that their activities are carried out in an environment of internal cohesion, confidence and enthusiasm.
• Rigorous separation between the activities of MAPFRE GROUP, aimed at creating value for all its shareholders, and the activities of FUNDACIÓN MAPFRE, whose goals are of a social nature and not-for-profit.
