Code of Ethics
The Catholic Charities USA Code of Ethics serves to guide the organization in the concrete implementation of the broad moral philosophy of its mission of justice and love.
The Code applies to the organization as a whole, agency leadership and staff. It was approved by the Board of Trustees of Catholic Charities USA on September 12, 2007.
This section offers agency leaders a variety of resources to assist in the study and implementation of the new Code.
