10 Pillars of Integrity
At DSI, ten core principles are central to our Code of Conduct. They provide financial professionals with guidance to act with integrity every day and strengthen trust in the sector. Every DSI-certified individual commits to these principles, helping us contribute to a transparent and ethical financial sector. Discover how these 10 core principles contribute to promoting integrity and ethics in your work.
Take responsibility for your own behavior and that of your environment
Put the interests of the customer first.
Act carefully and with integrity.
Promote that (also) others adhere to the Code of Conduct.
Comply with the rules that apply to your profession.
Handle confidential information carefully.
Avoid conflicts of interest.
Act transparently and openly.
Provide careful and professional advice to your customer.
Honesty strengthens trust and keeps the market reliable.
Ethical dilemmas are ideally discussed early within your own organization, so you can come to a careful and justifiable decision together. Prevention is better than cure, and integrity should be a constant topic of discussion within teams and the management of organizations in the financial sector.
However, when a situation goes beyond an internal dilemma and potentially involves a violation of integrity, financial professionals can report it to DSI. This is based on the DSI Code of Conduct and may lead to disciplinary proceedings. Discover everything about making an Integrity Report, the DSI Code of Conduct and DSI Ethics Enforcement through the buttons below.
