Core values
Confidence and self belief: Members should trust, respect and maintain confidence in themselves and in each other. We believe that each entrepreneur is capable of innovation and creativity, and are always forward thinking, enthusiastic and striving for excellence and progress.
Humility: Entrepreneurs should always believe in the basics of human values and remember that KINDNESS among human beings is the greatest virtue that will make the entrepreneur the best contributor and influencer to society. This will keep away arrogance and unchecked ego that are detrimental to the societal well being.
Integrity: Having good moral values and unshakable honesty is of utmost importance in any entrepreneur if they want a good reputation in business. It is the very fabric by which our association and trade NGO functions.
Accountability and ethics: IECM is committed to ensure members are accountable to one another in all matters. We strive to build a good value based culture in which ethics define our worldview (wéltanschauung), approach, character, philosophy and core value-system.
Community: As an ethical trade NGO, we want to make a mark not only on the livelihood of entrepreneurs and success of our members’ businesses, but to make an impact on our community. We want our members to actively CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY, leave a legacy, bring value, influence, impact others and make a difference to the communities around them.
Support: We believe that a natural hunger for prosperity is the most valuable asset in any entrepreneur. Therefore members must support one another to strive towards achieving success. As a committed association, our administration and secretariat will always endeavour to bring the best in training, education and experience to share with our members.
