Self-Regulation in Advertising

Self-regulation in advertising refers to industry-led efforts where companies and organizations establish guidelines and standards to ensure their advertising is honest, fair, and responsible. Instead of government rules, the industry itself monitors and enforces these standards to prevent misleading, deceptive, or harmful content. This approach promotes trust with consumers while allowing the industry to address issues proactively. Essentially, it’s a way for advertisers to maintain integrity and credibility by voluntarily adhering to ethical practices, fostering a balanced relationship between businesses and the public.
