The Society of Toxicology (SOT) adopted a Code of Ethics on January 31, 1985, that is reviewed and updated by the SOT Council to assure its currency and relevance to all SOT members. This Code of Ethics was first revised on June 1, 2005, and reviewed and reaffirmed September 14, 2011. On November 5, 2012, the SOT Council agreed on a revision to this Code of Ethics that recognizes the diversity of the Society’s membership. The following language was added:
“Provide equal opportunity and equal consideration to all members without regard to sex, gender identity or expression, race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion or religious belief, age, marital status, sexual orientation, disabilities, or veteran status.”
The complete SOT Code of Ethics is posted on the SOT website.
