Code of ethics

NZIM believes that the well being of New Zealand depends on both economic success and the acceptance of community and environmental responsibilities.

Managers can only achieve this through high standards of performance, integrity and ethical and moral behaviour.

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