Code of Ethics :-
To
Show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by
industrious application to the end that I may merit
a reputation for quality of service.
To
seek success and to demand all fair remuneration
or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or
success at the price of my own self respect lost because
of unfair advantage taken of because of questionable
acts on my part.
To
remember that in building up my business it is not
necessary to tear down another's to be loyal to my clients
or customers and true to myself.
Whenever
a doubt arises as to the right ethics of my position
of action towards my fellowmen to resolve such doubt
against myself.
To
Hold friendship as an end and not a means. To hold
that true friendship exists not on account of the service
performed by the one to another but that true Friendship
demands nothing, but accepts service in the sprit in
which it is given.
Always
bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation,
my state and my community, and to give then my unswerving
loyalty in word, act and deed. To give them freely of
my time, labour and means.
To
Aid my fellowmen by giving sympathy to those in
distress, my aid to the weak, and my substance to the
needy.
To
Be Careful with my criticism and liberal with my
praise, to build up not destroy.
