Nov 18 | Ethical Business Practices: Who Is Responsible?
The Carter Center Council for Ethical Business Practices in collaboration with the Goizueta Business School and Center for Ethics at Emory University presents "Ethical Business Practices: Who Is Responsible?" on November 18 at 3pm in the Cyprus Room at the Carter Center.
National governments are proving ill equipped to manage an increasingly complicated suite of global problems, from infectious diseases to climate change to international trade to regulation of business. That governance shortfall is leading to calls for corporations themselves to help fill the gap, such as increased self-regulation and self-monitoring. But is this a legitimate expectation? Who or what is responsible for ethical business practices? Is it the government, the corporation, or the individual as employee who is responsible? Our panelists will discuss the balance of responsibility in today’s changing corporate and global environment and the distinct yet shared responsibilities of these different sectors, concluding with an example of how a successful compliance program resolves these diverse demands.
Panelists:
- Anne Florini, PhD, Brookings Institution and Author of The Coming Democracy: New Rules for Running a New World
- Charlotte McDaniel, PhD, STM, Candler School of Theology and Fellow in the Center for Ethics, Emory University
- Joyce Hosking, Vice President, Corporate Compliance for UPS
