Applied to
Environmental analysis of property adjacent to wetlands for residential condominium development
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
Engineer A's environmental assessment of property adjacent to a protected wetlands area for residential condominium development activates the environmental stewardship obligation to consider and protect the ecological resources — including the threatened bird species habitat — that the proposed development may affect, requiring that findings about potential threats to those resources be fully disclosed in the professional work product
Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Interpretation
Environmental stewardship in this context requires not merely conducting the analysis but ensuring that the findings of that analysis — including adverse findings about threatened species — are communicated completely and accurately in the written professional report, bridging the technical engineering practice with the broader environmental and societal responsibilities the principle embodies
Invoked by
Engineer A Environmental Firm Principal
Tension resolution
Environmental stewardship obligations reinforce rather than conflict with the public welfare paramount principle; both require full written disclosure of the threatened species finding to the public regulatory authority
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A is a principal in an environmental engineering firm and is requested by a developer client to prepare an analysis of a piece of property adjacent to a wetlands area for potential development as a residential condominium
Text references
Engineer A is a principal in an environmental engineering firm and is requested by a developer client to prepare an analysis of a piece of property adjacent to a wetlands area for potential development as a residential condominium
one of the engineering firm's biologists reports to Engineer A that in his opinion, the condominium project could threaten a bird species that inhabits the adjacent protected wetlands area
