The Public Relations Coalition is a partnership of major organizations representing corporate public relations, investor relations, public affairs and related communications disciplines. It draws on the the collective wisdom of its more than 50,000 members to develop practical action models on a number of issues relevant to public relations.

To date, the PR Coalition has endorsed Principles for Conducting Public Relations on the Internet, to promote the highest possible professional standards and ethical practices in the digital world and to insure that the information posted on the Internet is accurate and truthful and that the sources for that in formation are always identified.

The PR Coalition has also created and distributed Restoring Trust in Business: Models for Action, a document that challenges corporate America to do three things: adopt ethical principles, pursue transparency and disclosure in everything they do, and make trust a fundamental precept of corporate governance.

The Coalition has also examined ways to increase and improve diversity in the public relations professions. It has issued the White Paper "Focus on Diversity: Lowering the Barriers, Raising the Bar."

In 2007 as a result of a cooperative initiative of the PR Coalition and the U.S. Department of State, a private sector summit was held on public diplomacy. Models of action were adopted and are discussed in the White Paper Private Sector Summit On Public Diplomacy: Models for Action. The effort was a response to growing concerns from American global companies doing business abroad due to the challenges faced by the United States image throughout the world.
