ME is a seal that certifies the observance of ethical principles, of good practices, by announcers in Romania

Thus we aim to protect and educate consumers at the same time by validating an honest, transparent and decent advertising conduct and by promoting good practices in brand communication.

By displaying the Ethical Stamp, brands confirmed by industry experts that the respective commercial communication is in accordance with the provisions and in the spirit of RAC Code Advertisingof Practice: www.rac.ro.

The Ethics Stamp will help increase consumer confidence in advertising and brands and is attributed only at the request of companies.
