Integrity is achieved when serious thought is given to the question \u201cwhat is the right thing to do,\u201d which must be asked and answered by all levels of the organization while referring back to sound Board policies and well-designed administrative procedures, and by means of consultation within the organization, and by considering stakeholders\u2019 input and feedback.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n
