Lobbying Ethics

Lobbying ethics refers to the principles governing how individuals and organizations interact with legislators and government officials to influence policy and decision-making. It emphasizes transparency, honesty, and accountability in these interactions. Ethical lobbying means disclosing who is being represented, avoiding conflicts of interest, and not offering gifts or favors that could compromise public officials’ integrity. The goal is to ensure that the interests being represented are legitimate and that the democratic process remains fair and open to all citizens, not just those with resources to exert influence.
