ECO operates with six values. The following explains how we perceive and interpret them.

ECO wishes its clients to profit from its international platform founded on its closeness to international donors and financial institutions. ECO sees these institutions as important partners. In addition, ECO attaches great importance to its staff having qualifications that are internationally recognised. Finally, ECO wishes its clients and staff to benefit from ECO's relationship with international consultants who can add to the knowledge of ECO's own staff and clients.

ECO believes that to be a competent sparring partner to its clients, ECO must have a deep knowledge of the market in which its clients operate. ECO therefore attaches great importance to being located in the FEI and to having a close relationship with relevant FEI chambers. ECO believes in building relationships not only with individual enterprises, but with the enterprise clusters. Thus ECO believes in an individual as well as an organisational approach to Egyptian industry.

ECO believes in each individual member of its staff. To be an ECO staff member a person must have more than academic competences. He or she must have social competences too. An ECO staff member is always highly qualified in their particular field and where appropriate certified according to international standards. Having social competences implies that each staff member is a team player, a person who enjoys working with others to help ECO's clients and ECO in achieving their goals/ objectives.

ECO believes that in all its contacts with clients and stakeholders respect and tolerance for each others' viewpoints, cultures and religions are crucial to the success of ECO. Therefore ECO staff always behaves with respect towards others and each other.

ECO believes that its operations should be targeted at reducing poverty and helping Egyptian society to achieve that goal. As a result of this philosophy ECO focuses on improving the working conditions of workers wherever possible. ECO believes in equality between both sexes. ECO is committed to recruiting both sexes and at all levels. ECO strives in its work with Egyptian enterprises to focus on and improve gender equality and the working conditions for women. ECO is committed to a clean and green environment. It is fundamental to ECO that the services it offers help Egyptian industry to comply with environmental legislation to the benefit of the Egyptian society.

ECO believes in looking at its clients in entirety. This means that at ECO we take all aspects of an enterprise into consideration when looking at possible solutions - environmental, financial and social as well as the well-being of the enterprise's employees.
