Code of Practice
This Code of Practice applies to all consultants providing services for which clients are billed. The Civis Code of Practice was created in consultation with industry stakeholders to ensure that all our consultants conduct their business ethically and to the highest standards.Ethical Consulting
Ethical consultants operate from principles which define ethical behavior and guide their actions. Our ethical principles are documented in a Code of Practice so that our consultants are able to recognize ethical dilemmas and have at least one tool to use in assessing and adressing those dilemmas. Consultants must be able to recognize ethical dilemmas and have at least one tool to use to assess and address the dilemma.
Civis consultants make every effort to understand the culture, or personality, of our client organization. The culture is reflected in a variety of values, some of them actually enacted and others that are referred by members of the organization. Ethical behaviors should conform to the values of that culture, AS WELL AS those professional values of the firm.
