Recent ethical failures in the PR industry highlight the need for truly professional and accountable practitioners. The CIPR is mandated by its Royal Charter to promote professional standards for the benefit of the industry and the general public - and Chartered Practitioners embody these standards. I congratulate each of today's newly Chartered PR professionals.
