MAPFRE has based its business activity on the following principles:

• Independence with regard to all persons, groups, entities or powers of any kind.
• Ethical 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. 

Following this, MAPFRE has subscribed the Global Compact of United Nations.

• 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 business activities of the MAPFRE Group, aimed at creating value for all its shareholders, and the activities of FUNDACION MAPFRE, the objectives of which are of a general and social nature and developed for non-profit purposes.
