By Adnews Staff
Toronto-based Hill and Knowlton Canada and Grainger & Associates of Ottawa have formed an alliance to provide communications consulting services in the field of ethics. The two firms will offer public and private sector clients services including ethics audits, development of ethics codes and policies, development of communications strategies around ethics programs, in-person and online training and stakeholder consultation programs. "Ethics is an increasingly important component of corporate reputation for business and governments," said Hill and Knowlton Canada president Michael Coates. "Ethics and values programs involve more than codes of conduct. They involve specialized training and communications to internal and external stakeholders." Brian Grainger, president of Grainger & Associates, said, "This alliance of two trusted and credible consulting organizations will help clients to better promote ethics in action."
