Expected behaviour of the volunteer
In the course of my activities as a volunteer with Green Commitment, an international animal protection organisation, I agree to follow the following rules of conduct while volunteering for and on behalf of Green Commitment:
1. I commit to act in accordance with the values of the organisation, especially the principle of non-violence. I commit to always act with absolute respect, integrity and responsibility, and to follow the general guidelines provided by the Green Commitment team;
2. I will not share any confidential information I have received while volunteering without official consent from Compromiso Verde;
3. I agree to perform all volunteer tasks in a non-violent manner, refraining from the practice of all forms of harassment, intimidation, embarrassment, offence, threat, retaliation and any other inappropriate or unlawful behaviour.
4. I will not make any false or misleading statements about Green Commitment, its members or its programmes;
5. I will conduct myself in a polite, respectful, professional manner in accordance with local law, and in strict compliance with the values and mission of Compromiso Verde;
6. I will not practice any act of violence against people, animals or things, in full respect of the values and principles of the organisation;
7. I will refrain from making statements and engaging in conduct that could be considered a breach of the peace or pose a risk to public safety;
8. I will immediately inform Green Commitment if I observe behaviour by others, whether volunteers or third parties, that violates the terms of this document.
I declare that I am aware that my volunteering activity in Compromiso Verde will be carried out spontaneously and without remuneration of any kind, and will not generate any employment, social security or tax obligations with the organisation.
In specific cases, depending on the action, Compromiso Verde may, by institutional decision, cover volunteers' expenses, such as transport and food. In these cases, information on the cost assistance will be communicated prior to the action.
I am aware that when participating in face-to-face public actions, volunteers may be photographed and/or filmed and that these images may be disseminated in Compromiso Verde's media, including but not limited to the website, social networks and institutional materials of the organisation, for the dissemination of the action and/or the campaign work of Compromiso Verde and may not be used for profit or commercial purposes. Any other use of the image of the volunteer, which is not related to the action in which they voluntarily chose to participate or the dissemination of the Green Commitment campaign work, will require prior authorisation. I am also aware that if I do not want the volunteer to be photographed as a minor or filmed on a specific occasion, I must give prior notice to the person responsible for the public action so that action can be taken.
I confirm that I have read this document and agree to respect and comply with all the above guidelines and I hereby sign this document.
Finally, I am aware that failure to comply with any of the expected behaviours contained in this document may result in my expulsion from the Green Commitment volunteer group.
