​How does your ethical yardstick measure up against the rest of the environmental community?

Ethics matter for all environmental professionals. But while some ethical issues are obvious, some can be hard to spot. Indeed, some ethical duties are governed by the rules of one's profession, and some by mere guidelines or no set rules at all. We will compare and contrast the ethical rules and obligations of consultants, attorneys, professional engineers, professional geologists, certified hazardous materials managers and others. We will explore common ethical challenges such as conflicts of interest, confidentiality obligations, disclosures and regulatory notifications, expert testimony and social networking. Hypothetical and real examples will be used to illustrate the varying and sometimes conflicting rules and obligations that arise during a project.
