10 Enter DII Jack Welch of General Electric and the CEOs and senior officials of 17 other defense contractors voluntarily met Created the Defense Industry Initiative on Business Ethics and Conduct. Drafted the principles that became central to the DII. These principles first appeared in the Appendix to the Packard Commission's June 1986 final report By July 1986, 32 major defense contractors had pledged to adopt DII’s core principles.

11 1)Have and adhere to written Codes of Conduct; 2)Train employees in those Codes; 3)Encourage internal reporting of violations of the Code, within an atmosphere free of fear of retribution; 4)Practice self-governance through the implementation of systems to monitor compliance with federal procurement laws and the adoption of procedures for voluntary disclosure of violations to the appropriate authorities; 5)Share with other firms their best practices in implementing the principles, and participate annually in “Best Practices Forums”; and 6)Be accountable to the public.
