Our Values

As well as adhering to the exacting professional standards of the IABC and CIPR, 514 Media employees individually and collectively adhere to a rigorous code of conduct governing how we work with clients, and with each other.

At all times we strive to:

Be Good: Abide by the highest moral and ethical standards

Be Respectful: Of ourselves, colleagues, clients and the world

Be Accurate: Keep thorough business records for future reference 

Be Helpful: Our reputation as PR practitioners depends on it!

As a business, we are always keen to give something back. As a virtual business, our carbon footprint is minimal, and we aim to use public transport for business travel wherever practical.

The company is an investor in Time for the Planet, which is committed to raising 1 billion euros to establish 100 companies fighting global warming. 

We also donate a percentage of our profits to charities and community initiatives, such as the Association for Rural Development of the North Region of Burkina Faso, which offers support to local agricultural and environmental initiatives across more than 30 municipalities.

Please contact us if you would like us to support a specific charity project – whether it’s a fun run, a trek across Peru or fundraising effort for a foundation whose endeavours are close to your heart. If we can help spread the word, or indeed contribute, we will.
