Code of Conduct

Values

Integrity
Living by your highest values and having the courage to do the right thing. It is being honest and sincere. Integrity helps you to listen to your conscience, to do the right thing, and to tell the truth. You act with integrity when your words and actions match. Integrity gives you self-respect and a peaceful heart.
Self-Control
Self-disciplining your body and mind equally. It means disciplining yourself to do the right thing even when no one is watching.
Respect
Follow the Golden Rule –‘treat others as you would like to be treated’. Be tolerant of differences. Use good manners, not bad language. Be considerate of the feelings of others.  Too often people confuse fear with respect. Fear destroys self-confidence. Respect builds self-confidence. Fear is forced. Respect is earned.
Excellence
Excellence is the key to success. It means doing your best, giving careful attention to every task and every relationship. Excellence is effort guided by a noble purpose –it is a desire for perfection.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Courage
Courage is the ability to confront fear, pain, risk/danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. It is not a lack of fear or fearlessness, but rather doing what you must even when you are most afraid. There are two forms of courage: physical courage and moral courage.  Physical courage is courage in the face of physical pain, hardship, or threat of death.  Moral courage is the courage to act rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, or discouragement.
Trustworthiness
Be honest, don’t deceive, cheat or steal. Be reliable –do what you say you’ll do. Build a good reputation. Be loyal –stand by your family, friends and country.
Prudence
Exercising sound judgment in practical affairs. Think before you act. Consider the consequences. Be accountable for your choices.
Perseverence
Working until finished despite difficulties. Keep trying!
Service
To give back as much as you take. Service is giving to others, making a difference in their lives. You consider their needs as important as your own. Being helpful without waiting to be asked. Doing every job with excellence.
