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 endeavor 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 throughout 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.
