The HKBPA maintains high standards of professionalism and promotes ethical behavior, attitudes, and judgments among its members. With reference to the ethical standards adopted by the American Psychological Society and British Psychological Society, the HKBPA developed this Code of Ethics (The Code). The “Professional Practitioners” in this document refer to business psychologists and practitioner members working in the field of business psychology. It provides detailed and specific standards that can be applied to most situations encountered in the working capacity of our practitioner members. The Code also seeks to educate members, students, and the public on the ethical standards of the discipline, thereby fostering a culture of professionalism and ethical conduct.

We live in a world that is rapidly changing, with ethical challenges arising from scientific and technological innovations, climate change, and global conflicts. The Code is subjected to periodic amendments, which will be communicated to members of the Association, and published on HKBPA’s website. Members are obliged to ensure that they are conversant with the current version of the Code. Members seeking clarification or advice on the matters contained herein should write to:
