Our values
Tero's interventions focus on building the capacity of actors in the territories.
Our principle is not to substitute ourselves for the actors but to act in a complementary manner. In the fields of expertise, we always seek the active participation of local populations and do not hesitate to incorporate local expertise rooted in our mission areas. The women and men mobilised by Tero are experts in their field, who use their know-how to support the agro-ecological and food transition.

The choice to structure itself as a SCIC also constitutes an adherence to fundamental values such as:
Priority given to initiative, creativity and co-construction of intervention proposals
Transparency and shared power
Sustainability of the company and development of the services provided, based on the constitution of non-shareable reserves
The solidarity of our cooperative with other actors working for the development of a social and solidarity economy
