Union of Associations Advertising Council is a non-governmental, non-profit organization. It was established in 2006 at the initiative of the advertising and marketing industry representatives. This organization established a system of self-regulation in the area of advertising, which it also manages. Its members include industry associations as ordinary members and companies as supporting members.
Advertising Council was established with a view of creating, promoting and protecting the principles to be followed by advertisers active on the Polish market and Polish entrepreneurs who advertise abroad. These standards are included in the Advertising Code of Ethics, adopted by the Advertising Council and updated on an on-going basis.
The Advertising Code of Ethics reflects the set of ethical principles and good market practices generally accepted in Poland and in the European Union, ethical standards in marketing communication recommended by the European Advertising Standards Alliance (EASA), and it serves as the basis for resolutions adopted by the Advertising Ethics Committee and for other statements it makes.
