relationships.
In our relationships with colleagues, we should
treat them with respect and in good faith; in
the same way. we ourselves would expect

to guard against loose talk or in its worst
form- character assassination- is not to say
anything behind one’s back and never utter
something, which cannot be put in writing.

8. Honor confidentiality.
The principle of honesty extends to issues of
confidentiality of information. The ethical concern is
