Ethics

Ethics is at the forefront of our business strategy. In a market driven by increased competition and new streams of business opportunities, breaching the most basic ethics code can be viewed by some as an easy solution to make short-term profit.

At Accord Group ECE, we are established and experienced practitioners who abide by the benchmark standards of the Code of Ethics and the Professional Practice Guidelines of the Association of Executive Search Consultants. We rigorously follow these tenets with both clients and candidates in order to protect their interests to the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.
