PRCA Ethics Council launches #PRCAethics month

The PRCA Ethics Council has launched #PRCAethics Month with the theme of ‘The PoweR of Ethical PR’ to move PR dialogues towards ethics-driven action and behaviors.

Throughout September #PRCAethics will release educational content focusing on issues affecting the PR industry across the globe, building to the 2020 PRCA UK National Conference on 24 September, which takes the theme of ‘PR as a Force for Positive Change’.

The PRCA Ethics council has also confirmed a research audit project with the remit ‘to raise ethical standards around the world’, with results due in early 2021.

PRCA Ethics Council Chair David Gallagher said of the launch: ‘In a calendar year defined by utter disruption and chaos at transformative levels, one thing in our industry has remained steadfast: the importance of ethical decision-making, relationship-management and communications. This September, the PRCA will join once more with our members to drive ethics as a global topic to the larger public. It’s an inherent part of our organisational brand.’

Formed in May 2020, the PRCA Ethics Council is set to announce further appointments and ambassadorships. Recent members welcomed include Fletcher Marketing PR Senior Strategist Mary Beth West as Co-Chair.
