Our core
regulatory work
• Strengthen ethics and global responsibility requirements in our
Standards at every stage of registration and professional development.
• Drive enhancement to engineering education and training in ethical
awareness and globally-responsible decision-making.
Partnerships
• Build public awareness and confidence in the centrality of globallyresponsible decision-making in the engineering profession, through
partnerships and public engagement.
• Develop guidance and resources to strengthen engineering
professionals’ understanding of ethical principles and practice,
and their confidence in raising concerns and challenging decisions.
Internal change
• Hold our own governing groups to high standards of ethics
and global responsibility.
How we will measure
Progress under this theme will be assessed through
evidence that ethical and global responsibility
expectations are clearly embedded across the
regulatory lifecycle. This includes monitoring how
these expectations are reflected in our Standards,
guidance and regulatory assurance activity, and
how consistently they are interpreted and applied
by professional engineering institutions.
Over time we will also seek evidence that
registrants are better equipped to navigate
ethical challenges in practice. This may include
insight from registrant surveys, complaints
and professional conduct processes, as well as
evidence of the effectiveness of institutional
systems for supporting ethical practice and
addressing concerns.
