CODE OF CONDUCT

Representation of interests and exchange of interests form essential elements of a functioning and vibrant democracy and should be promoted in the interest of all those involved in the process of shaping the framework conditions. Interest representatives, business consultants, and public affairs experts thus play a democratically important, mutual mediating role between the economy, politics, administration, and civil society. This work of information and interest mediation requires a high degree of personal integrity, socio-political sensitivity, and transparency in the exercise of this profession.
