Diak commits to the recommendations for good lobbying practice

The National Audit Office of Finland (VTV), which maintains the Transparency Register, has published recommendations for good lobbying practice. Diak commits to adhering to these recommendations in its advocacy activities.

The recommendations for good lobbying practice promote a culture of responsible lobbying, operate on the principles of self-regulation, and encourage organisations engaged in advocacy to adopt responsible practices.

Organisations involved in lobbying can publicly commit to following these recommendations. Organisations that have committed to these recommendations are listed on the Transparency Register’s website.

The recommendations for good lobbying practice are as follows:

  1. We respect the democratic decision-making process.
  2. We act in an honest and respectful manner.
  3. We openly disclose for whom we are working and which interests we are promoting.
  4. We openly disclose our interests.
  5. We respect confidentiality.
  6. We observe the rules of hospitality.

Read the full descriptions of the recommendations on the document of good lobbying practice.

Diak engages in societal and educational policy advocacy to both develop its operating environment and advance its strategic goals. Advocacy activities are reported in the Transparency Register.
