New quarterly publication features insights from CEOs, senior executives and recognized global thought leaders and focuses on how high ethical standards can drive improved performance
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 07, 2014
The Ethisphere Institute, the global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, this week released the premier issue of “The World’s Most Ethical Companies® Executive Briefing.” This quarterly publication, created by and for senior-level executives and Boards, is designed to drive conversations in the C-suite about the important role ethics plays in driving high business performance.
Companies who have achieved Ethisphere’s designation as The World’s Most Ethical Companies have demonstrated the importance of correlating business performance to ethics leadership. They find that they attract and retain better employees, investors, suppliers and customers. Executive Briefings feature the insights from senior executives at these companies, as well as other recognized thought leaders globally, with the goal of helping other organizations improve their performance.
“We believe that business ethics is not a discussion topic that exists or should exist in the compliance or risk management silos in an organization. Business ethics is a fundamental concept that drives business decisions, culture and performance,” said Ethisphere’s Chief Executive Officer, Timothy Erblich. “We’re humbled by the authors who are contributing to this discussion and setting the pace for the current and next generation of business leaders and believe that “The World’s Most Ethical Companies Executive Briefing” will be a fundamental tool in providing insight into how high-value business ethics can fuel corporate change and growth that makes a significant global impact.”
The inaugural Executive Briefing features articles from leading professionals and organizations on a variety of topics from how brands must and can earn trust to the role anti-corruption programs play in advancing human rights and developing stable global markets. Articles include:
- “Building a Brand Based on Trust” by Brian Goldner, President & CEO, Hasbro, Inc.
- “Is Privacy Obsolete?” by John Hooker, Professor of Business Ethics & Social Responsibility, Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University
- “Legacy: What CEOs Say They Want to Leave Behind” by Dennis Chesley, Global Risk Consulting Leader, PwC
