The World Water Council is committed to a set of values that contributes to achieving the goals we pursue. These are:
- Transparency: the network is open to anyone organisation that subscribes to its objectives and information flows freely between its members;
- Democracy: the network is founded on democratic principles, one member one vote; opinions of all members are distributed freely around the network;
- Dignity: discussions are held in a dignified manner, everyone gets a chance to be heard when everyone gets a chance to listen;
- Independency: no special interests should interfere in bringing issues to the table when such issues are relevant to water;
- Participation: it is believed that complex issues such as water issues can only be addressed and solved by having all relevant stakeholders participate in discussions.
