WHAT IS INTEGRITY ?
Integrity of Individual
The harmony between what an individual says and does. His or her actions are
in accordance with moral and ethical principles as well regulations and do not
go against public interest. They also reflect promptness, correctness and
quality.
Integrity of Organizations
The integrity of an organization is reflected in the formulation and
implementation of its code of ethics, clients charter, and system or work
procedures, as well as compliance with best practices. The organization’s code
of ethics is constantly reiterated, internalized and upheld by members of the
organization until it becomes second nature, and ultimately transform into the
culture for the organization as a whole.
Integrity of Public Officials
For holders of public office, integrity means carrying out the trust and
responsibilities bestowed upon them in line with public interest. They are not
allowed to misuse their power for their self-interest, or for the interest of their
family or relatives. Should a conflict of interest occur, public interest overrides
personal interest. Holders of public office must be transparent, sincere and
accountable.
