Our ethics are based on professional competence, personal integrity and social responsibility. Members of Engineering New Zealand are subject to the Code and commit to it each year.

  Our code on ethical conduct outlines the high standards of ethical behaviour expected of all members of Engineering New Zealand.

  1. Take reasonable steps to safeguard health and safety
     
  2. Have regard to effects on environment
     
  3. Report adverse consequences
     
  4. Act competently
     
  5. Behave appropriately
     
  6. Inform others of consequences of not following advice
     
  7. Maintain confidentiality
     
  8. Report breach of Code

  
  

  All members of Engineering New Zealand are subject to the Code. Once a year, we'll ask you to declare you will comply with the Code. Engineers who are registered as Chartered Professional Engineers are also subject to a separate but identical Code. The Code does not apply to engineers who are not members of Engineering New Zealand or Chartered Professional Engineers.

  This module will help you interpret the Code  of Ethical Conduct. You will work through a number of interactive case studies, designed to help you practice exercising your judgement in ethically challenging situations.
