Code of Ethics

Our Code of Ethics is certainly one of the most important documents of the ICF. Not only has it been agreed and signed by all our members, but it has also formed the basis of many ethical codes from other (national and international) organizations in our industry. At the General Council meeting of 4 July 2011 in Bristol, a renewed version of the code of ethics was presented. The meeting adopted unanimously this version and agreed that the new version would replace the old one. Below you will find the Code of Ethics valid as of 4 July 2011. We encourage all our members to display the Code of Ethics on their premises, for the public to see. Obviously websites and other promotional material are also very appropriate ways of informing the public on our standards of ethical behavior.
