Abstract

In our increasingly interconnected world, humanitarian organisations grapple with the imperative to prioritise social responsibility and sustainability. This paper delves into the Humanitarian Ethical Decision-Making (HEDM) framework, offering a comprehensive guide for navigating intricate ethical dilemmas while maximising positive societal and environmental impact, particularly in humanitarian endeavours. Drawing upon advanced ethics, collaboration, and strategic foresight, HEDM empowers humanitarian organisations to uphold humanitarian values and principles, engage stakeholders, and drive substantive change. This paper illuminates the profound significance and implications of ethical decision-making in the humanitarian sector. Based on the HEDM framework, the EthicEase mobile application emerges as a ground-breaking tool, providing a user-friendly platform to enhance ethical literacy and responsible action. Leveraging HEDM principles, EthicEase enables individuals and organizations to confront ethical challenges with confidence and integrity, fostering a future of ethical leadership and positive societal transformation.
