POLICIES
Code of Conduct
Members of the Society of Environmental 
Toxicology and Chemistry are expected to exhibit 
the highest standards of integrity and profes-
sionalism. To ensure a strong and successful

the spirit of promoting Environmental Quality 
Through Science®, members should strive to be 
good stewards of environmental resources and 
effective and objective contributors to the envi-
ronmental discussion locally and globally.
Professional behavior and integrity are also

nonmembers) of SETAC meetings, workshops 
and activities.
