“The last 10 years of business have proven that capitalism is still the best way to progress. However, it has also shown us that profit without ethical principles is not sustainable. For shareholder value to be sustained, ethics must permeate every crevice of the organization. Ethisphere provideds practical insights on what programs work, what the public expects, and even “tells the truth” about the quality of many of our companies codes of conduct - whether they are useable or just words. Finally, it also addresses how to deal with global ethics compliance, which is difficult given the vast cultural norms throughout the world marketplace.” - Joseph B. Hanks, Deputy General Counsel, Associated British Foods Americas
