sem actos não há palavras que valham: mas as palavras que são um acto tornam-se um bom princípio-fundamento


e aí está mais uma iniciativa da dircom. na simplicidade de uma declaração e de um manifesto a revelação de uma reflexão sobre a filosofia da comunicação e expondo uma quase-teoria da comunicação corporativa, para já não falar da dimensão ética e moral ali encerrada. Gostava de ver isto a acontecer em Portugal ( o manifesto apresenta-se no original)

______________________________________________________________

Los directivos y profesionales de la Comunicación, agrupados en la Asociación de Directivos de Comunicación, Dircom:
􀂃 Habiendo realizado una reflexión profunda sobre la situación de la Responsabilidad Social en España, tanto de las empresas como de las
otras organizaciones sociales;
􀂃 Teniendo en cuenta los trabajos de la Vocalía Ejecutiva de Dircom sobre la RS, los principales estudios recientes tanto propios como de
otras organizaciones relevantes, y la encuesta efectuada por Dircom entre sus setecientos asociados;
􀂃 Considerando que las buenas conductas de todas las organizaciones sociales son esenciales para la sostenibilidad de cualquier proyecto
personal o colectivo;

Manifestamos:
1. Que una sociedad es responsable cuando todas las organizaciones
comparten una apuesta común por los valores y conductas que las
legitiman y hacen sostenibles en el tiempo; y cuando todos los
grupos de interés asumen el compromiso y coherencia de su
defensa.
2. Que una sociedad responsable implica unas conductas extendidas,
de acuerdo a los valores vigentes, a todas las actividades y a todas
las organizaciones, tanto públicas como privadas, esto es: a las
administraciones públicas, partidos políticos, fundaciones,
organizaciones no gubernamentales, sindicatos, patronales,
universidades, fundaciones, empresas…
3. Que la Responsabilidad Social, para que sea creíble en cualquier
organización, debe adoptar unas conductas que han de ser
soportadas por unos procesos y procedimientos, desarrollados a tal
fin, que sean coherentes con sus actividades, actitudes y acciones;
trasparentes para sus grupos de interés y evaluables a lo largo del
tiempo.
4. Que en la configuración de la Responsabilidad Social de las
organizaciones sociales, han de participar todas las partes
interesadas, para proporcionar unas referencias de actuación
acordes con sus valores y expectativas, y en concordancia con la
actividad que realizan y los productos o servicios que, en su caso,
prestan.
5. Que la Responsabilidad de las Administraciones Públicas, va más
allá del cumplimiento de la Constitución y la legalidad, asumiendo
unos valores y conductas, en sus relaciones con los ciudadanos,
que provoquen su legitimación social.
6. Que el Consejo Estatal de Responsabilidad Social de las Empresas debería
orientar sus cometidos y actividades hacia el impulso, conocimiento y
significado de la Responsabilidad hoy, de todas las Administraciones y
organizaciones públicas, y a su consecuente implantación. Estableciendo
unos procedimientos de actuación claros y trasparentes, que faciliten las
relaciones a los individuos, las organizaciones sociales y a las empresas.
7. Que la metodología y estándares de reporte de la Responsabilidad, tanto de
las empresas, como de las otras organizaciones sociales, deberían propiciar
unos procedimientos de formalización, auditoria, verificación y certificación,
mucho más sencillos para facilitar la compresión, comparación,
interpretación y conocimiento que las partes interesadas necesitan, para
tomar sus decisiones de legitimación, elección o rechazo.
8. Que la Responsabilidad Social de las empresas es una forma de crear valor
reconocido por sus grupos de interés, y por tanto no es una liberalidad, sino
una necesidad inherente a su subsistencia, diferenciación, discriminación y
competitividad. Por lo tanto, no necesita tutelas ni intromisiones externas.
9. Que es necesario preservar, frente a cualquier tentación reglamentista, el
carácter libre y voluntario del conjunto de actuaciones sociales,
medioambientales y de cualquier otra naturaleza que comúnmente forman
parte del concepto de Responsabilidad Social de la empresa, ya que
corresponde a la sociedad civil premiarlas o castigarlas, según el valor
reconocido en las conductas propuestas y la capacidad de elección de sus
grupos de interés.
10. Que la Responsabilidad que cada empresa adopta, constituye un elemento
esencial de singularización pública y de relación con sus grupos de interés,
por el conjunto de valores y conductas de ciudadanía que hoy asume, y
por tanto, de inserción en la sociedad como agente de cultura, civilización y
progreso.

analistas financeiros vão ter controlo mais rigoroso


a CMVM anunciou e está anunciado. mas a questão fica no ar: para quando um controlo sobre outros agentes do sistema que influenciam as decisões de investimentos dos pequenos investidores? os investidores institucionais têm os seus próprios algoritmos e técnicos, mas e o senhor manuel que investe de acordo com aquilo que lê nos jornais, nomeadamente económicos, e na internet, e que não tem acesso às notas de research disponibilizadas pelos analistas? estas são duas dúvidas de quem nunca investiu no mercado de capitais sobretudo por causa desta deformação profissional [meaning...gestão de informação]

ética III

um grande artigo sobre ética nas RP encontra-se aqui e a autora é Shannon Bowen

ética II

se este código fosse vinculativo neste país, quantas empresas e profissionais não estariam em dificuldades!

ética: só para recordar que ela existe nas RP, e que até há um Código Internacional, que por acaso é de Lisboa

European Code of Professional Conduct in Public Relations
(Code of Lisbon)

Officially adopted at the General Assembly of CERP in Lisbon, April 16th 1978, and adopted by all the 18 National Associations (from 15 European Countries) who are institutional members of CERP.

Every professional member of (national association) duly admitted as such in accordance with the rules of (national association) is deemed for the purpose of this Code to be a public relations practitioner, and to be bound by the Code.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section II - General professional obligations

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clause 2

In the practice of his profession the pr practitioner undertakes to respect the principles set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and in particular the freedom of expression and the freedom of the press which give effect to the right of the individual to receive information, within the limits of professional confidence. He likewise undertakes to act in accordance with the public interest and not to harm the dignity or integrity of the individual.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clause 3

In his professional conduct, the pr practitioner must show honesty, intellectual integrity and loyalty. In particular, he undertakes not to make use of comment which is misleading or information which is false or misleading. In the same spirit he must be watchful to avoid the use, even by accident, of practices or methods incompatible with this Code.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PR activities must be carried out openly: they must be readily identifiable, bear a clear indication of their origin, and must not tend to mislead third parties.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clause 5

In his relations with other professions and with other branches of social communications, the pr practitioner must respect the rules and practices appropriate to those professions or occupations, so far as these are compatible with the ethics of his own profession.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section III - Specific professional obligations:
Towards clients or employers


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clause 6

A pr practitioner shall not represent conflicting or competing interests without the express consent of the clients or employers concerned.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clause 7

In the practice of his profession, a pr practitioner must observe complete discretion. He must scrupulously respect professional confidence, and in particular must not reveal any confidential information received from his clients or employers, past, present of potential, or make use of such information, without express authorization.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clause 8

A pr practitioner who has an interest which may conflict with that of his client or employer must disclose it as soon as possible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clause 13

When the execution of a pr assignment would be likely to entail serious professional misconduct and imply behaviour contrary to the principles of this Code, the pr practitioner must take steps to notify his client or employer immediately, and do everything possible to see that the latter respects the requirements of the Code. If the client or employer persists in his intentions, the practitioner must nevertheless observe the Code irrespective of the consequences to him.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Towards public opinion and the information media

Clause 14

The spirit of this Code and the rules contained in preceding clauses, notably clauses 2, 3, 4 and 5 imply a constant concern on the part of the pr practitioner with the right to information, and moreover the duty to provide information, within the limits of professional confidence. They imply also a respect for the rights, independence and initiative of the information media.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clause 15

Any attempt to deceive public opinion or its representatives is strictly forbidden. Any form of blackmail, corruption or exertion of undue influence, especially in relation to the information media, is forbidden. News must be provided without charge and with no private understanding or hidden reward for its use or publication.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clause 16

If it should seem necessary to maintain the initiative in, and the control of, the issue and distribution of information, within the principles of this Code, the pr practitioner may buy space or broadcasting time in conformity with the rules, practices and usages in that field.

Towards fellow-practitioners


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clause 17

The pr practitioner must refrain from unfair competition with fellow-practitioners. He must neither act or speak in a way which could tend to depreciate the reputation or business of a fellow-practitioner, subject always to his duty under Clause 19b of this Code.

Towards the profession


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clause 18

The pr practitioner must refrain from any conduct which may prejudice the reputation of his profession. In particular he must not cause harm to his national association, its efficient working, or its good name, whether by malicious attacks or by any breach of its constitution or rules.

The reputation of the profession is the responsibility of each of its members. The pr practitioner has a duty not only to respect this Code himself but also:

a. to assist in making the Code more widely and better known and understood;

b. to report to the competent disciplinary authorities any breach of the Code which comes to his notice, c. to take any action in his power to ensure that rulings on its application by such authorities are observed and sanctions made effective.

Any practitioner who permits a violation of the Code will be considered as having himself breached the Code.

ética na comunicação # 1

O joão duarte apresentou as regras da sua empresa aqui. As regras que defende apresentam em si, enormes dilemas morais que faz com que cada eventual conflito consuma imenso tempo a ser analisado, correndo-se mesmo o risco de não ser resolvido.

Sobre estes temas recordo que para além do Código de Atenas, há o Código de Lisboa e o Código de Estocolmo. Era bom que em Portugal, à semelhança do que acontece noutros países, e com outras profissões, a ética empresarial não fosse só "wishful thinking".

Há muito que decidi que, pessoalmente, nunca trabalharei com empresas ou entidades que no desenvolvimento das suas actividades ponham em causa a dignidade humana. Não porque um Código qualquer me obrigue, mas porque a minha consciência católica me leva a pensar desta maneira.Este é o meu ponto de partida. Sobre esta premissa construo o resto. Mas é perigoso que uma actividade que pode ter tantas consequências sobre a sociedade, fique à mercê da consciência moral individual... é que nem todas são boas.
