Ethics and Compliance
It is important to GIA and central to its mission to uphold the highest standards of integrity.
GIA’s commitment to integrity is unwavering. Upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct has been central to our mission since our founding in 1931.
GIA works each day to earn the highest level of trust from our employees, students, and the public.
Our Code of Conduct and various other policies explain the conduct and behaviors we expect of ourselves to uphold the highest standards of integrity. GIA takes very seriously any breaches or potential breaches of its policies. If anyone has a concern about whether those policies are being followed, we want to hear from you.
