Ethical Standards For ICF Professionals
Meeting these ICF ethical standards of conduct is the first of the ICF core coaching
competencies (ICF Core Competencies): “Demonstrates Ethical Practice: understands and consistently applies coaching ethics and standards.”
The following ethical standards are applied to the professional activities of ICF Professionals – regardless of an existing formal coaching relationship (see definitions) or not. These ethical standards are divided into five sections:
- Agreements for Client and/or Sponsor Engagement.
- Confidentiality and Legal Compliance.
- Professional Conduct and Conflicts of Interest.
- Commitment to Delivering Consistent Value.
- Professional Integrity and Accountability.
