Equity and Justice: Provides the framework for treating all individuals with respect and fairness, addressing systemic inequalities, and promoting equal opportunities.

Policy and governance: Promote accountability and transparency in automated decision-making and digital governance.

Trust and integrity: Fosters a culture of honesty, reliability, and ethical behaviour, which is crucial for building and maintaining credibility with stakeholders, employees, and the wider community.

Together, these guiding principles create a robust ethical infrastructure that supports sustainable, responsible, and inclusive practices across all areas of our research.
