Do Brands Need Ethics? Of Course, They Do! How to build ethics & values into your brand

As a culture, we often seem more focused on what’s legal and have lost touch with ethics. Brands that do what is right, rather than what they can get away with, demonstrate the value of strong ethics. 

How can businesses build ethics into their communication, marketing and public relations? Our panelists will break down how building ethics into the brand means looking at all aspects of the business with a lens toward doing what is right – for customers, clients, employees and the community – not just shareholders and the bottom line.

September is Ethics Month. Learn more about the PRSA Code of Ethics.
