At Orbis, everything we do is guided by our vision to transform lives through the prevention and treatment of blindness. We have high standards for how we achieve this. We know that without you millions of people would be needlessly blind throughout the world. Here's what we're doing to make sure we earn your trust and contribution.
We promise:
We are delighted to present the 2021 Online Orbis UK Annual Report. Thanks to our committed supporters, partners and volunteers, we are a step closer to our vision of a world where no-one is needlessly blind.
Our amazing supporters, volunteers and partners are at the heart of everything we do.
Your support is critical to our existence and we want to openly reassure you that we're working hard to ensure your generous contributions are being used as effectively as possible to deliver high quality eye care and build a lasting eye care legacy in the communities that need it most.
At Orbis, we're proud to be led by a board of highly-experienced visionaries. Under their strategic guidance, we can drive change and transform eye care in communities all over the world.
How We Keep Our People Safe
Here at Orbis we value our people and take the safety and wellbeing of our Orbis family (employees, volunteers, contractors) very seriously.
Our safeguarding policies and principles have been put in place to help protect people from harm and ensure all people are treated with respect. Our staff, contractors and volunteers follow a strict ethical code of practice and clear policies to ensure we provide the highest standards of care worldwide.
We've also established an Ethics and Compliance Hotline which provides employees with a confidential and anonymous route to report issues or concerns.
Orbis UK are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) in the workplace and throughout our organisation. People are at the heart of who we are and what we do, so we believe in embedding policies and procedures that foster an equitable and inclusive environment for our staff, expert volunteers, and the people we support.
