Code of Ethics
 
Responsibility to society and profession
Accept the responsibilities of your professions to society.
Seek solutions that are compatible with the principles of sustainable development.
At all times uphold the dignity, standing and reputation of your professions.

Competence
Maintain knowledge and skills at levels consistent with developments in technology, legislation and management, and apply due skill, care and diligence in the supply of goods, materials, works and services to your clients.
Refrain from supplying goods and materials or undertaking works or perform services, unless you are competent to do so.

Integrity
Act at all times in the legitimate interests of our clients and supply goods and materials or undertake works or perform services with integrity and faithfulness.

Impartiality
Be impartial in the provision of professional advice, judgement or decision.
Inform the client of any potential conflict of interest that might arise in the performance of the commission.
Not accept remuneration, which prejudices independent judgement.

Fairness to others
Promote the concept of “selection by ability”.
Neither carelessly nor intentionally do anything to injure the reputation or business of others.
Neither directly nor indirectly attempt to take the place of another supplier who is already appointed.
Not take over the work of another firm before notifying the firm in question, and without being notified by the client of the termination of the prior appointment for that work.
In the event of being asked to review the work of another, behave in accordance with appropriate professional conduct and courtesy.

Corruption
Neither offer nor accept remuneration of any kind which in perception or in effect either a.) seeks to influence the process of selection or compensation of firms or their clients, or b.) seeks to affect impartial judgement.
Cooperate fully with any legitimately constituted investigative body, which makes inquiries into the administration of any contract for services or implementation.
