Companies, including Infosys, Accenture, Microsoft, AT&T, VF Corp, AIG, 3M and Visa, convened to offer analysis on new data, global business trends, ethical decision-making and cultural influence at the 2019 Global Ethics Summit.
NEW YORK, July 18, 2019 (Newswire.com) – Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing standards of ethical business practices, today announced the release of a showcase of leading sessions, insights and trends from the 11th Annual Global Ethics Summit; Key Trends and Highlights from the 2019 Global Ethics Summit amplifies a selection of featured conversations with company leaders, data-backed methodologies and innovative practices, all with the intent of improving business ethics, governance and compliance worldwide.
Nearly 300 unique organizations, representing 60 different industries, contributed to the richness of information shared at this year’s Summit, assembling for peer-to-peer analysis, global impressions on business integrity and working groups designed to tactically improve compliance in distinct areas of responsibility.
At the core of the Summit was participation from Ethisphere’s Business Ethics Leadership Alliance (BELA) community, which led a faculty of CEOs, Chief Legal Officers, Chief Ethics & Compliance Officers and other business partners to shape the interactive discussions and guide colleagues on the latest achievements and obstacles in the current business landscape. Founded by Ethisphere, BELA is a 270-member strong globally recognized organization of leading companies collaborating together to share best practices in governance, risk management, compliance and ethics.
This Summit guide is also now available on Ethisphere’s BELA member hub—a premier repository of resources featuring examples of work, presentations and research from select BELA companies intended to cultivate more idea exchange and inspiration for companies to continuously improve in the area of ethics and compliance.
“The leadership at the Summit is emblematic of how the BELA community of companies are supporting peers across BELA and beyond by candidly sharing expertise and further amplifying it at a global level, wherever they do business,” said Kevin McCormack, Vice President and Executive Director, BELA. “There is a ‘rising tide’ impact demonstrated at the Summit each year, and that influence continues as these leaders draw upon, explore and exchange practices at the Summit and inject them into their programs in the current year and beyond.”
The expert panel discussions included front-page topics such as the impact of the #MeToo movement, data-driven due diligence, organizational justice, engagement with the board of directors, cybersecurity, culture change, ethical influence on external stakeholders and more.
Within the Summit guide are key themes including:
- Cultural transformation: the case for greater trust, transparency and organizational character
- Business improvement: innovation and partnerships fuel needed change
- Global advancements: embedding integrity worldwide and keeping pace with external risks
The new guide is an essential companion for the companies that had the opportunity to join the Summit, which drew a record nearly 600 individual participants, and for those looking to contribute to the dialogue in the future.
