What is it to be an environmental professional and practice ethically?

Understanding ethical practice is critical to your personal reputation and exposure to risk as it is to your employer. Ethical standards, competence, integrity, the promotion of public good, accountability to those served, and society are the cornerstones of the environment profession.

In a workshop setting, you will be provided with the opportunity to:

• understand ethics, morality, reputation and credibility, and the importance of ethical practice as the basis for community trust in professionals;
• appreciate various perspectives of professionals, in different fields and disciplines, public and private;
• learn about the EIANZ Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct;
• hone your capacity to identify and resolve ethical issues and dilemmas;
• understand the ethical and accountability obligations of environmental professionals, in both private and public organisations; and
• network with other environmental professionals after an afternoon wrestling with ethical issues.

The workshop will be face to face with guided group work and plenty of opportunity for discussion. It will be conducted in accordance with contemporary health guidelines for COVID-19 management and attendance at the workshop will contribute toward your professional development obligation.

Places are limited so register early for this important event. Even better, register two or three from the same organisation. Resolution of ethical challenges is helped by dialogue with others.

The event will be held at Griffith University (Southbank Campus), Room S02-3.12 in the Webb Centre off Grey Street. Join us afterwards at The Ship Inn (Cnr. Stanley & Sidon Streets, South Brisbane) for networking, drinks and snacks.
