Chapter 2: Responsibility
2.2.1 We make decisions and take actions based on the best interests of society, public safety,
and the environment

Example: An apartment building project can be completed quickly, which can optimize the
owner's profits, but it will ensure the safety of future residents, causing harm to the surrounding
environment. According to this rule, a professional project manager will have to put the interests
of residents in particular, society in general and the safety of the environment above the
interests of the owner.

2.2.2 We accept only those assignments that are consistent with our background, experience,
skills, and qualifications

Example: A PMI specialist with skills, qualifications and experience mainly in apartment
construction project management should not take on an information technology project to
ensure safety and quality of work.

2.2.6 We uphold this Code and hold each other accountable to it

Example: When working together on a project, team members must ensure compliance with this
code and work closely with the rest of the team to ensure that they also comply. If a violation
occurs, the group will clearly state the problem and resolve it, reviewing if necessary.

2.3.2 We report unethical or illegal conduct to appropriate management and, if necessary, to

those affected by the conduct.

Example: If a PMI professional discovers that a colleague is engaging in unethical activities on a

project, such as cheating on progress reports, he should report the behavior to their manager. If
the situation becomes serious or causes damage to the project or organization, he should also
consider reporting it to those affected by the behavior, such as shareholders or regulatory
authorities.

2.3.4 We only file ethics complaints when they are substantiated by facts.

Example: When you discover that a colleague has violated the law, you should not immediately
file a complaint but should collect sufficient evidence and be sure that this violation has
occurred. You can then file a complaint based on the facts.
 Chapter 3: Respect
3.2.2 We listen to others’ points of view, seeking to understand them.

Example: In a project, when a team member has a different view on how to implement a
particular feature, you should not rule out that view, but instead listen to their reasons, and
consider whether there is a way to integrate that perspective into the project plan in a
collaborative way.

3.2.3 We approach directly those persons with whom we have a conflict or disagreement.

Example: If you have a conflict with another member, instead of avoiding a meeting, you should
agree to a face-to-face conversation to exchange views and find a solution.

3.2.4 We conduct ourselves in a professional manner, even when it is not reciprocated.

Example: While you may have difficulty working with a partner or team member who does not
act professionally, you should still maintain a courteous and respectful attitude in all interactions.

3.3.1 We negotiate in good faith.

Example: When negotiating a contract, you should conduct honest negotiations by disclosing all
information relevant to the agreement and not withholding important information.

3.3.3 We do not act in an abusive manner toward others.

Example: Even if conflicts arise within the team, we still need to find another solution. Any act or
word of violence towards colleagues, partners or anyone in the work environment is
unacceptable.
 Chapter 4: Fairness
4.2.1 We demonstrate transparency in our decision-making process.

Example: In a project, any important decisions about budget or project scope changes need to
be exchanged and explained clearly to all project team members and stakeholders.

4.2.4 We make opportunities equally available to qualified candidates.

Example: During the recruitment process for a project position, all qualified candidates have an
equal opportunity to participate in the recruitment process. Employers should evaluate and
consider all candidates based on ability, experience and suitability for the job position.

4.3.1 We proactively and fully disclose any real or potential conflicts of interest to the
appropriate stakeholders.

Example: If you realize a team member has an interest relationship with a potential supplier or
partner, you should take steps to fully disclose this information to relevant parties, such as
project management. judges and decision makers.

4.3.4 We do not discriminate against others based on, but not limited to, gender, race, age,
religion, disability, nationality, or sexual orientation.

Example: There should be no preference or discrimination against project team members based
on gender, race, age, religion, disability, nationality or sexuality. All members should be treated
equally and fairly.

4.3.5 We apply the rules of the organization (employer, Project Management Institute, or other
group) without favoritism or prejudice.

Example: A project manager must comply with and implement the rules and regulations of your
organization without preference or prejudice. This ensures that you are performing your work
fairly and professionally based on the organization's principles and guidelines.
 Chapter 5: Honesty
5.2.1 We earnestly seek to understand the truth.

Example: During project management, when a problem or challenge arises, a project manager
needs to spend time and effort to research and understand the situation instead of hiding or
avoiding it.

5.2.2 We are truthful in our communications and in our conduct.

Example: A project manager finds that the project is late and cannot be completed on the
original deadline. Instead of hiding this information or trying to hide the truth, he is honest with
stakeholders by communicating about the delay and providing specific information about the
cause and the measures you are taking to fix it.

5.2.3 We provide accurate information in a timely manner.

Example: When required to provide a weekly progress report to stakeholders, ensure that the
report contains accurate information on project status and progress of works. This report is sent
on time as agreed to help management and team members have the right and timely
information to make decisions and make necessary adjustments.

5.2.5 We strive to create an environment in which others feel safe to tell the truth.

Example: In a project, you can take measures to encourage team members and colleagues to
feel comfortable expressing their opinions or reporting issues within the project. This might
include open and attentive listening, asking constructive questions, and not punishing those who
honestly report problems.

5.3.2 We do not engage in dishonest behavior with the intention of personal gain or at the
expense of another.

Example: During contract negotiations with a partner, you should not provide inaccurate
information or make untrue statements with the intention of personal gain or to harm your
partner.
