In the lobbying field, ethics includes values such as honesty, openness, loyalty, fair-mindedness, respect, integrity, and forthright communication. The current state of ethics in the lobbying practice depends heavily on codes of conduct held by the major professional associations. Membership in these groups is voluntary, meaning that one is not required to belong to such an association in order to practice lobbying. Members agree to abide by a code code of conduct that is written for the entire group.
