We joined BELA to identify best practices that can help us improve our program even further,” explained Rockwell Collins’ Senior Director, Ethics & Business Compliance, Dorene MacVey. “We want to leverage BELA to network with other industries and global companies who are faced with similar challenges and have identified innovative solutions to promote strong ethical cultures.”

“Liquidity Services is a global solution provider in the reverse supply chain with the world’s largest marketplace for business surplus,” said Jill M. Williamson, Compliance Officer for Liquidity Services, Inc. “We are setting the standard for best practices in the industry, working with the world’s leading companies to provide innovative, sustainable solutions for their surplus assets and inventory. Integrity is a core part of who we are as a company and joining the Business Ethics Leadership Alliance community is another way of showcasing our dedication to ethical leadership.”
“I am very excited about the opportunity to network with some of the most respected professionals in the field of ethics,” added Concurrent Technologies Corporation Ethics Officer, Executive Director, Corporate Governance & Compliance, John Bartholomew. “I truly believe that benchmarking CTC against industry leaders will result in a stronger ethics program for my company and lead to my own professional growth.”
