BRIEF INTRODUCTION
FAIRNESS
Fairness comes from the old English word faeger, which means “pleasing
or attractive.” It is the quality of making judgments that are free from discrimination.
Fairness in the context of a business organization involves balancing the interests
involved in all decision-making including any decisions related to hiring, firing
(including the investigatory process), and the compensation and rewards system.
Hiring the right people is one of the most important decisions an organization
makes.

ACCOUNTABILITY
Accountability is the obligation of an individual or organization to account
for its activities, accept responsibility for them, and to disclose the results in a
transparent manner.
TRANSPARENCY
STEWARDSHIP
In Biblical terms, stewardship is defined as utilizing and managing all
resources God provides for the glory of God and the betterment of His creation.
That definition plays a critical role in today’s business landscape. In the context
of business organization, stewardship refers to taking responsibility for the
business and the effects it has on the world around it. This involves considering
more than just the bottom line and looking at elements such as values, ethics,
and morals
