GOOD CORPORATE CONDUCT:
For a global institution like the ICE, which has significant expectations from our stakeholders and members, the way we manage our business is crucial. This is the foundation of good corporate conduct. We believe that our institution should uphold high standards of behaviour and integrity. It is essential to demonstrate what a socially responsible institution should be and to promote high standards of corporate social responsibility within professional organizations. We must ensure that our perspectives, along with those of our stakeholders, are considered in the development and implementation of government policies that impact us. Our stance is that professional institutions should have a voice in shaping government policies that affect them.

We believe that our business and activities should be conducted with the highest ethical standards, good corporate governance, and full compliance with the law. It is our responsibility to ensure that our employees, members, students, and stakeholders uphold these high standards of conduct in their duties.

The Institute of Chartered Economists of Nigeria intends to:
i.Set the tone and culture for our Institution to uphold the standards of a good corporate citizen,
ii. Ensure that actions of the ICEN, employees, and members are lawful and in accordance with these standards,
iii. Assist our employees, members, and students to make appropriate judgments and decisions in the course of their work.
