Ethical Principles
We have adopted certain principles to provide error free news and information on the important issues. The principles are as follows:
- Employees of Zeept work with complete integrity, trust, fairness, and professionalism and we respect the sentiments of clients, employees, suppliers, government authorities and society

We also offer interesting and challenging positions to the employees and interns and offer competitive remuneration and promote personal and professional development
- We provide a neutral platform that facilitates dialogue and enables people from different backgrounds and political inclinations to come together, discuss and solve issues that matter most.
- We present the most accurate important information available at the time on a particular issue. We also credit sources wherever needed or applicable. Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable and prohibited.
- We strive for balanced, unbiased, and logical opinions on issues and maintain a clear distinction between business interests and editorial decision-making. In no way can the business interest take over editorial decision-making. We provide accurate information instead of breaking the news. We will wait before sharing if enough information is not available and not to speculate.
- We always try to include diverse voices in the story to make it fair and balanced and issue public apology in case of error and rectify the error. We remain strong and resolute in the wake of pressure from people in power and stand with the editorial in case of any legal dispute and in case of harassment.

- Any violation of the Integrity Policy must be reported to the relevant authority. Hiding the policy violation leads to a violation of ethical policy itself. Threats or retaliation against anyone who reported integrity Policy violation leads as violation of ethical policy itself.
