About us
Who we are
Founded in 1956, DRC Danish Refugee Council is Denmark’s largest, and a leading international NGO. We have continuously been ranked as one of the best NGOs in the world - and are one of the few with a specific expertise in forced displacement. In over 30 countries, we protect, advocate and build sustainable futures for refugees and other displacement-affected people and communities.
Our culture and values
Our values guide everything we do—ensuring that our work is principled, respectful, and focused on empowering those we serve.
Humanitarian approach
We prioritize the right to a dignified life above politics. Our duty is to provide aid wherever possible, respecting each individual’s right to shape their own future.
Respect
We believe in equal rights for all. Our work combats discrimination and supports displaced people in claiming their rights under law.
Independence and neutrality
We remain politically neutral, focusing solely on the needs of displaced persons and operating independently in conflict zones.
Inclusion
We collaborate closely with those we assist, ensuring their active participation and strengthening their capacity for independence.
Honesty and transparency
We are accountable and open about our work, choices, and limitations, fostering trust with beneficiaries, partners, and donors.
DRC's core competencies
DRC employees act with integrity, strive for excellence, collaborate effectively, take initiative, and communicate with professionalism.
DRC has defined a set of core competencies that employees must possess and exercise in their daily work. The core competencies will secure that DRC as a whole is goal and result oriented, that we have an appropriate and professional tone, and that we hold the highest standards for ethics and behavior.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
