Code of Ethics
Last updated: October 2022
​
This code of ethics outlines the mission, values, and behaviours that guide my day-to-day professional and business activities to
achieve and maintain a high level of financial, social, and environmental responsibility. As a registered dietitian, I also follow the professional Code of Ethics and regulatory standards developed by the College of Dietitians of Alberta.
​
Mission
​
Synthesist exists to help clients communicate their best ideas with confidence, accuracy, and impact.
​
Values
​
HONESTY
​
I am always truthful about my business practices, work capacity, professional abilities and limitations, and errors or oversights.
​
INTEGRITY
​
I build trust through responsible, respectful, open, and empathetic interactions with clients, the public, professional editing networks, consultants, and other key stakeholders.
​
EQUITY​
​
I welcome clients, partners, and consultants from all social, cultural, and political backgrounds to foster equitable access, support, and opportunities for my target audiences, business colleagues, and community.
​
PROGRESS
​
I continue to seek new opportunities to develop and advance my skill set and expertise, including formal education and training, professional networking, and evaluation of my business activities.
​
RECIPROCITY
​
I recognize that my business cannot succeed without client and community support. When appropriate, I express appreciation to my customers, promote the services of my partners, support other small businesses and solopreneurs, and offer in-kind services.
​
SUSTAINABILITY
​
I choose business activities that minimize environmental impact as much as possible, including paperless communications and banking, working from home as often as possible, and walking or using transit for work-related travel when feasible.
