Integrity Oath
To join, every member of the GTA Integrity Institute needs to do a few things. One of them is to affirm the GTA Integrity Oath.
We want to see a future where this would serve as a hippocratic oath for all integrity workers. It is a lightweight, guiding ethical framework that we hold ourselves to, and we challenge everyone in the industry to do so as well.
Be Selfless
Put the public interest first.
Do your work for the right reasons. Do not chase status or glory for its own sake.
Be Honest
Make sure to tell the truth about your work and its implications.
Be Constructive
Give credit where it is due. Lead with alternatives and new approaches rather than only pointing out flaws. Work well with others.
Be Conscious
Integrity workers have access to immensely powerful systems. We work in the public trust. Use this power responsibly.
Be Protective
Remember that your first job is to protect the public, especially the weakest amongst them.
This is a stressful job. Often, it involves taking a stand for what’s right, instead of what’s easy. We must look after each other. Protect your fellow integrity people, keep them safe, make sure they have the support they need to thrive.
Be Fair
Do not use your position to favor one group above others. Do not allow any partisanship to affect your work, except for being a partisan for the practice of integrity.
Do not focus on one company when the dynamic you are describing is common to the industry as a whole.
Be Kind
Be a good person. Be nice. Care about others.
