Code of Ethics
ALL MEMBERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO ABIDE BY THE NZIM CODE OF ETHICS.
 

The New Zealand Institute of Management Inc. recognises that the well being of New Zealand society is dependant on the economic success of its private and public organisations and acceptance of community and environmental responsibilities.

This can only be achieved through the high standards of performance, integrity and ethical and moral behaviour of management within such organisations.

NZIM membership is therefore dependent on the acceptance by each member of a code of ethics that requires these high standards to be met.

This code of ethics sets out the responsibilities that all members have to the stakeholders of the organisations for which they work, the community and their own development.
