Support our nonpartisan, nonprofit research and insights which help leaders address societal challenges.
DonateEvery day, executives confront ethics and business practice issues - both within their companies and in their dealings with other organizations. From wide-ranging questions like “How do we balance what is right with what is profitable?” to specific ones on EU privacy and PRC anti-corruption laws, our members seek to build a global perspective on common concerns:
- The business case for human rights
- Whistleblower protection
- Ethics and compliance in China
Our candid discussions help us to advise our CEOs on good practices and to benchmark in the slippery area of ethics.
