Code of Ethics

The "Code of Conduct" is essentially a set of professional ethical standards regulating the relationship of Members with Academy of Project Engineering and with clients, employers, employees, fellow members of the group and the public generally.

The maintenance of ethical standards is the collective concern of the Academy as well as all members of the profession. The ideal situation, of course, would be that the maintenance of ethical standards at individual member level is so self-evident that its further mention need not be made.

Therefore, it is necessary to keep on reinforcing the idea of keeping up and observing the highest ethical standards.
