Codes of Ethics
EthicSA endorses codes of ethics that illustrate the relationship between an organisation's values and its rules of conduct. Such an approach ensures that the letter of a code is not seen as more important than the spirit of the code.
We certify codes in terms of their completeness, clarity, utility and their promotion of an understanding of the relationship between values and rules.
