FIPRA Network’s Quality and Ethics Committee swings into action

Close on the heels of the establishment of its Advisory Board, the FIPRA Network is proud to unveil its Quality and Ethics Committee (QEC).

Consisting of 8 top-brass public affairs professionals from around the world, the QEC is tasked with ensuring that the highest standards and best practices, both in terms of quality and professionalism, are consistently upheld and promoted across the FIPRA Network.

The FIPRA Network’s Quality and Ethics Committee is comprised of:

• Joseph Chung, FIPRA Korea 

• Mike Craven, FIPRA United Kingdom

• Hilary Hudson, FIPRA International

• Wisahl Jappie, FIPRA South Africa

• Dominik Meier, FIPRA Germany

• Laurent Monjole, FIPRA France

• Rhod Shaw, FIPRA USA

• Pieter Walraven, FIPRA The Netherlands

Dominik Meier, Owner and Managing Director of Miller & Meier Consulting/FIPRA Germany, will serve as Chairperson of the FIPRA Network’s Quality and Ethics Committee.

“Our FIPRA Network stands for added value through globally connected local expertise and uniformly high standards, both in terms of ethical values and professionalism. The Quality & Ethics Committee originates from a shared appreciation of quality in public affairs and reflects our resolute commitment to offering the best possible advice to clients across the board,” Dominik said.

“Since we formally started our work in July, we have finalised our ‘Quality in Consulting’ standards. These standards form the foundation of our FIPRA Network. As the QEC, it will be our continuous task to keep these standards high and to develop them further in line with changing requirements in the future,” he added.

The Committee has set itself three major tasks:

• Supervise and manage appeals procedures regarding a) violation of standards, b) decision-making on conflicts of interest or conflicts of ethics, and c) internal mediation in cases of conflicts between FIPRA units.
• Continuously evaluate and further develop FIPRA Network standards.
• Provide recommendations for the admission of new members to the Advisory Board.
