"Citizens, entrepreneurs, researchers and politicians need good statistical information to make the right decisions in good as well as in bad times, especially in crises and major transformations. The history of statistics has taught us how closely 'statistics' is linked to the development of the 'state'.
Learning from this history means understanding the power of numbers and ensuring that they are not only of good quality in terms of method and production, but also trustworthy.
If they are of value in solving the problems at hand, they meet our goal of being 'fit for purpose'. Power requires responsible action, knowledge of opportunities and risks. The professional values and ethical principles that shall guide statisticians to properly handle their responsibilities are summarised in the ISI Declaration."
