Financial Sector Workshop on Best Practice Ethics Management: Integrating values within your organisation

Description

The recent turmoil within the financial sector has led to new compliance measures focusing on strengthening corporate accountability and preventing misconduct. Boards and executives of financial institutions need to comply with new regulations and act in the spirit of Basel III and other principled statements. The challenges facing the financial industry are now how to make sure that they comply, and at the same time implement sustainable value-driven decision making across the whole organization.

On October 24^th, CSR Europe and EABIS, with support from BNP Paribas Fortis, are hosting a free workshop exclusively for the financial sector on implementation of value-driven decision making throughout your organisation.

Join the workshop to:

Gain a critical understanding on the gap between external stakeholder and board expectations on the financial industry and the current state of play.
Learn from key experts in the field.
Share your own perspectives and gather insights into what other companies are doing to implement effective ethical management systems into their business operation.
Work on practical solution to improve implementation of ethical management in your organisation.
