Integrity is what makes a system work consistently. We are honest with ourselves and review all that we do to ensure that what we do provides integrity for ourselves, Namsat, our clients and the wider community. We seek to build increasing integrity and will hold each other and our clients accountable to this fundamental principle. We choose the path of integrity as it is simply and fundamentally what works.
