With a vast operational reach, the organization is a global leader in crisis management, addressing complex issues like conflict, climate change, and human rights violations. UNHCR's core values of integrity, professionalism, respect for diversity, and accountability guide its work, with a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility reflected in its advocacy for climate justice, gender equality, and the protection of vulnerable populations.
