“Your Reputation May Be At Stake! - Ethics for Environmental Practitioners”
Understanding ethical practice is as critical to your personal reputation and exposure to risk as it is to your employer or client. For employers, the ethical standards and reputation of an organisation are critical to attracting and retaining high calibre employees.
Ethical standards, competence, integrity, and accountability are cornerstones of the environment profession. EIANZ members and/or Certified Environmental Practitioners have an obligation to practice ethically. Use this event to refresh you knowledge of what that means.
In a workshop setting, you will have the opportunity to:
Resolution of ethical challenges is helped by dialogue with others. The workshop will involve guided group work and plenty of opportunity for discussion.
Places are limited so register early for this important event. Even better, register two or three from the same organisation, come as a team and carry the conversation back to your organisation.
The event will be held at the conveniently located Griffith University, South Bank Campus.
