September is Ethics Month and we have a jam-packed programme of events, resources, and initiatives designed to spotlight the importance of ethical conduct in PR.
This year’s Ethics Month coincides with the five-year anniversary of Bell Pottinger’s expulsion from the PRCA, a watershed moment for the industry and its approach to ethics. Stay tuned throughout the month for videos of industry leaders reflecting on the anniversary and the current state of ethics in PR.
Our Ethics Month programme also includes the launch of the Global Business Ethics Survey® (GBES®) for the Public Relations Industry, as well as NextGen and senior panel events featuring international perspectives on ethical dilemmas faced by practitioners around the world.
PRCA members and other public relations practitioners worldwide can follow the ethics conversation and tap into free resources and events, using the #PRethics and #PRCA hashtags across social media.
