NEW YORK – November 18, 2014– Ethisphere, the global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, announced the 7th annual Global Ethics Summit, Elevating Value Through Integrity: How Leading Companies Accomplish Excellence Worldwide.
The summit will take place on March 10-11, 2015 in New York at the Grand Hyatt and will offer participants the opportunity to:
- Hear from CEOs of leading multinational companies sharing insight on leadership and reputation
- Listen in as Board members share their views on governance, ethics and leadership
- Network with executives and in-house counsel
- Understand the government’s view on the compliance and corruption landscape, and emerging approaches to enforcement
