About Compliance and Legal
We take compliance seriously across all aspects of our business operations, ensuring our practices meet the highest standards of legal and ethical conduct in Ireland, the UK, and other jurisdictions where we operate. Our comprehensive approach to compliance reflects our commitment to transparent, responsible business practices that protect client interests and maintain public trust.
Data Protection and Privacy
compliance includes full adherence to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements affecting both Irish and UK operations, comprehensive data processing agreements with all clients and suppliers, regular staff training on data protection requirements and best practices, secure data storage and processing systems with appropriate technical and organisational measures, and clear procedures for handling data subject requests and privacy inquiries.
Our privacy policy outlines how we collect, process, and protect personal data in our business operations, including media contact databases, client communications, and marketing activities. We maintain detailed records of data processing activities, conduct regular compliance audits, and work only with suppliers who meet equivalent data protection standards.
Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking
commitments include comprehensive policies preventing modern slavery in our operations and supply chains, due diligence procedures for all suppliers and business partners, regular training for staff on identifying and preventing slavery and trafficking risks, clear reporting procedures for suspected violations, and annual statements demonstrating our commitment to ethical business practices.
Professional Standards
include membership of relevant professional bodies including the Public Relations Institute of Ireland (PRII) and Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA), adherence to professional codes of conduct governing PR and communications practice, regular professional development and training for all team members, transparent client reporting and measurement practices, and ethical guidelines governing client relationships and media interactions.
Regulatory Compliance
covers sector-specific requirements affecting our clients, including financial services communications regulations, pharmaceutical marketing compliance, data protection requirements for technology companies, employment law considerations for HR communications, and corporate governance requirements for listed companies.
Transparency and ethical business practices are at the core of our values, reflected in our comprehensive compliance framework, regular policy reviews and updates, client education on compliance requirements, transparent pricing and contract terms, and commitment to honest, accurate communications in all professional activities.
