1. Overview
The Neftaly Cooperative Values in Action framework defines how Neftaly’s principles are lived out daily through decisions, actions, and relationships across all areas of the organisation.
It transforms cooperative ideals from words into practical behaviours, strategies, and cultural norms that shape how Neftaly operates, serves communities, and creates long-term value.
Neftaly believes that values are not statements to be memorised, but commitments to be demonstrated — continuously, consistently, and courageously.
2. Purpose
The purpose of this framework is to:
- Embed cooperative values in every level of Neftaly’s operations and governance.
- Guide Human Capital, Royal Committees, and Officers in decision-making and ethical conduct.
- Strengthen trust, accountability, and collaboration across the organisation.
- Ensure Neftaly’s growth remains aligned with its founding mission and community impact goals.
