27. The vision…….. Unashamedly Ethical envisions God releasing a wave of positive transformation that will sweep across Africa and the World resulting in the restoration of God’s based values and blessings over nations and individuals. We believe this ‘positive transformation’ will result in all people in every nation having access to basic human services and the opportunity to build prosperous lives for themselves and their families while also positively contributing towards the common good in their communities, cities and nation.

28. The purpose…….. To mobilize God’s people in all nations to make a stand by signing a pledge to commit to a lifestyle of ethics, values and clean living so that a tipping point is reached to rid the world of the corruption and unethical practices that are fuelling systemic poverty and social injustices in society.

29. The mission…….. Unashamedly Ethical is built upon three simple foundations to – Challenging individuals and organizations to sign a pledge to be unashamedly ethical; Connect members through an online directory and create a community of ethical companies, organizations and individuals; Hold signatories accountable through an Ombudsman system.
