About Ethics Institute Zimbabwe

Ethics Institute Zimbabwe (EIZ) is a practical and knowledge driven association with expertise in ethics training, ethics research and ethics advisory solutions. As we build Zimbabwe together, let us build it on a solid business foundation of knowledge, trust, transparency, accountability, and workmanship.

Our Vision

To promote ethical leadership for sustainable business growth.

Our Mission

To achieve our vision, our daily mission is to impart a culture of responsibility, accountability and respect amongst organizational stakeholders to enable them to build profitable and sustainable brands that are trusted by many customers.

Our Values

Our core values include respect, compliance, transparency, trust and profitability as outlined below:

Our Core Values

Knowledge

Borrowing from the holy bible scriptures; “my people perish for lack of knowledge”; at EIZ we believe in the continuous improvement of the conduct of humanity through a needs aligned training and development program.

Respect

In our pursuit of best business practices we believe in a corporate culture that recognizes its stakeholders’ values and admires their worthy abilities, qualities and achievements.

Compliance

Corporate systems, procedures and business legislature become effective business tools only through stakeholder compliance. At EIZ, we value corporate compliance as a sustainable business growth enabler, hence our tagline – fearlessly ethical.

Transparency

At EIZ, we thrive on honesty and openness in our everyday business conduct. This value is clearly captured by the famous Dalai Lama in his famous quote “A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.”

Trust

Because stakeholder trust builds workmanship and reliability; it also builds profitable brands. It is our primary objective to promote trust amongst our corporate stakeholders through effective business ethics interventions.

Profitability

It is every business’ objective to yield a benefit or financial gain. Through our culture defining ethics initiatives, we are committed to building profitable organizations for economic and societal gain.

Our Solutions

Ethics Training

Tailor-made and practical training on business ethics for both private and public institutions

As we analyze practical ethical blunders and address hidden corporate misalignments through training and development, we empower organizations and their employees to engage in ethical dialoguing as part of their everyday business conduct. This will inspire increased corporate productivity through trust, responsibility and accountability.

Ethics Research
