Code of Ethics
Maintaining the ethical code is very important in every field. As a certification institution, we make sure that we maintain clarity and transparency. IAB ensures that the certification is largely credited on the basis of quality and principles. It is ensured that the accreditation process is being carried out on a fair play basis and there is no scope of favouritism. We are ethically guided by the following core values:
- Integrity and consistency in our decisions and actions
- Professionalism and competence
- Moral value in our social interventions
- Responsibility in our contributions to institutions and people
Based on the above principles, the ethical standards for our members’ professional conduct and business practices are:
- Avoiding actions or behaviours that may negatively affect any accredited institutions.
- Avoiding conflict of interest between candidates and employers when issuing certifications
- Carrying out upstanding evaluation surveys of academic and professional activities.
- Protecting persons and institutions’ privacy and information.
- Engaging in constant professional update and self-regulation to improve our expertise and competences.
- Complying with laws and regulations concerning our professional conduct and our accreditation/certification procedures.
- Handling sustainability practices with human, social and civic responsibility in our work environments and in our relationships with others.
