Where Education Meets Ethical Responsibility
At Cornerstone, we believe that true excellence in healthcare education is not only measured by what we teach, but how we operate. Our commitment to ethics runs through the heart of everything we do — from how we bank, to how we deliver our courses, to how we serve the wider world.
Giving Back: 20% to Charity
We believe that success means little if it does not serve others. That’s why 20% of all our income is donated directly to charitable causes. These contributions support healthcare access in underserved communities, humanitarian relief efforts, and grassroots initiatives working to bring dignity, justice, and opportunity to the world’s most vulnerable populations.
This isn’t a corporate afterthought — it’s a foundational principle. Every course you attend with us becomes part of a wider ripple of positive change.
Ethical Banking
We have made a conscious choice to only bank with institutions that align with our values. That means we will not support - directly or indirectly - any financial entity that:
Funds fossil fuel extraction or environmental destruction
Profits from oppressive regimes or military-industrial complexes
Supports exploitative labour practices or unethical supply chains
Fails to meet standards for transparency, fairness, and human rights
We know where our money goes, and we ensure it never contributes to harm.
Sustainable Education Delivery
The way we deliver our educational programmes matters. From the smallest details to the biggest decisions, we’re working constantly to reduce our environmental impact and create sustainable systems. This includes:
Using digital-first resources to cut down on unnecessary printing
Partnering with eco-conscious venues and local suppliers
Encouraging low-waste events and responsible catering practices
Minimising travel-related emissions where possible, and offsetting where necessary
Our aim is to provide high-quality education while leaving as light a footprint as possible.
Ethical Engagement at Every Level
Whether it's our faculty, administrative team, collaborators, or attendees, we foster a culture grounded in respect, fairness, and inclusion. We are intentional about:
Promoting diverse voices and lived experiences in our teaching
Ensuring fair and ethical pay for all staff and speakers
Creating welcoming, safe spaces for learners from all backgrounds
Upholding clinical integrity and evidence-based practice in all course content
We believe the people we work with are as important as the work we do.
A Continuing Journey
Ethics is not a box we tick. It’s a journey - one we undertake with humility and constant reflection. We are committed to ongoing evaluation of our practices and welcome scrutiny from our learners, partners, and community. If there are ways we can do better, we want to hear them.
