Fairness:

I endeavor to be fair in my dealings, standing against the abuse of power, unfair advantage, corruption, or mistreatment. I will promote justice and equity, ensuring that all voices are heard and respected.

Equality:

I pledge to promote inclusivity and equitable treatment in all financial endeavors, consciously working to reduce inequality. I will champion diversity and work towards a more just and inclusive society.
