Oath
of Integrity
I promise to act with the utmost integrity
in balancing the ethics of societal well-being, individual rights,
tenets of
justice and principles of care in my efforts to manage the resources of
the
enterprises I endeavour to serve.
I understand that integrity is defined as
the quality of being whole and undivided in my thoughts and in my
actions. It
requires that I act in a state of being consistently of sound moral
principles
such that:
- I
promise to act with honesty;
- I
promise to be helpful to stakeholders when called upon.
- I
promise to act with competence through my career.
- I
promise to be fair to people and to treat them with respect.
- I
promise to uphold the principles of honour and promise-keeping.
- I
will foster an attitude of action orientation whenever possible.
- I
will strive to create sustainable organizational, environmental,
social, and technological prosperity balancing both short- and
long-term interests.
I make this oath freely and
sincerely, and
upon my honour.
The Oath of Integrity was created by
