Professional Ethics

BACKGROUND

These new masterclasses will delve into the complex subject of Professional Ethics. Exploring the idea of professionalism in depth allows us to understand the issues that are specific to ecology and environmental management. This is particularly important for a sector that can struggle with external perceptions of its professionalism. A better understanding of ethical principles and values also facilitates more effective decision-making and relevant case studies will be used throughout the masterclass to demonstrate this practical approach to ethics. IEEM's Code of Professional Conduct will be used as a basis for many of the discussions, but attendees are also invited to bring along their own case studies for discussion.
