Our profession works across all sectors, industries and nations. That means the demands on our work are incredibly varied and can change quickly. We can be exposed to ethical challenges more than most, all at a time when breaches in professional conduct can plunge entire professions into disrepute.
The IEMA Code helps us to make the right decisions at work. It guides us to act ethically when we need to resolve the conflicting interests of organisations, environment and society, and gives clarity around what behaviour you should and should not accept from your colleagues.

Abiding by the Code is a requirement of IEMA membership; sign up is easy, and information about the code you have signed up to is open to all.

Together with the IEMA CPD policy and your professional qualifications, the IEMA Code of Professional Conduct gives employers, clients and the public complete confidence in your competence, your professionalism and your integrity.
