Integrity Icon Pakistan (IIP)
Integrity Icon Pakistan is a national accountability initiative that identifies and elevates public servants whose professional conduct reflects integrity, ethical judgment and sustained public value. Rather than relying solely on exposure and sanction as accountability tools, the initiative advances a complementary approach that centers recognition, credibility and institutional role modeling within the civil service.
By legitimizing integrity as a professional norm, Integrity Icon Pakistan contributes to rebuilding public trust in state institutions and challenges entrenched narratives about public service in Pakistan. Since its inception, Integrity Icon Pakistan has recognized 46 public officials nationwide, reinforcing the evidence that integrity-led leadership exists within the system and can shape institutional culture when made visible and credible.
This edition of Integrity Icon Pakistan focused on public officials whose work has delivered tangible outcomes in climate mitigation, environmental protection and climate resilience. This thematic focus reflects the centrality of climate governance to Pakistan’s development and risk landscape and the critical role of ethical, competent public leadership in converting policy intent into results. This year, six Integrity Icon winners were recognized, reflecting the breadth of climate action emerging across the public sector.
