VCG Principles in the promotion of Muslim World - West Relations

1. Accuracy: VCG will strive to understand the questions that underpin this field, will portray that understanding as clearly and as transparently as possible, and facilitate our clients to find accurate answers.
2. Consistency: VCG changes its recommendations based on new information or new circumstances that change the reality on the ground. Otherwise, VCG does not change its expert opinions, whether those opinions are popular or not.
3. Knowledge: VCG has access to some of the best minds in academic and research circles, in some of the most renowned institutions of the world, both in the West and the Muslim World. Nevertheless, it is part of VCG's mission that the right questions are put to the right people: the people who have the knowledge in that particular field, regardless of who they are or what title they hold. VCG will not be asking engineers to advise on Islamic law, unless they are Islamic legalists as well, and will not request Muslim theologians to offer commentary on politics, unless they are savvy in that field.
4. Impartiality: VCG consultants have worked with governments. They have also worked with NGOs, private companies, academic and research institutions. As VCG, however, they are always independent from any party or political establishment, whether in power or in opposition in any country at any given time.
5. Common cause: VCG sincerely believes that this world is large us for all to live in, and too small for us fight each other in perpetuity. VCG will take on projects that recognize this and accept it. VCG will not take on projects designed to entice a civilizational clash, but only projects that will bring about further understanding between the West and the Muslim World; including that part of the Muslim World that now exists in the West and that part of the West which exists in the Muslim World.
