The Fall is in Full Swing and so are Governance, Risk & Reputation Developments
With this, our third monthly GEC Risk Newsletter, the fall seems to be in full swing, certainly in the Northern Hemisphere, with regulators, government officials, practitioners and business ethics academics continuing to make their mark despite the arteriosclerosis in Washington DC. In the past two weeks, I participated in the Ethics & Compliance Officer Annual Conference in Chicago and the Society for Corporate Compliance Ethics Annual Conference in Washington DC and in both places we heard from regulators, academics, corporate leaders and others all of them pointing in the direction of a continuing rise in consciousness about the importance of ethics, compliance, risk management and sustainable integrity in the global corporate arena. Let's hope this is true and not just the swing of the pendulum. Something else that has been very positive is the fact that a variety of leading business ethics academics are doing very valuable and practical research that is becoming beneficial to companies in how they run their programs. Time will tell, I guess!
If you didn't already, please visit our website to meet the fabulous members of the recently constituted GEC Risk Advisory Council: http://www.gecrisk.com/advisory-council/.
I'm off to a bunch of additional speaking commitments this fall - the next one will be the NACD Board Leadership Conference I am attending from October 13-15, 2013, in National Harbor, Maryland. I am a relatively new member and first time attendee and have the good fortune of having been asked to present on two critically important topics: The Role of Skepticism in the Boardroom and Supply Chain and Third Party Risk Management. You may also want to check out my latest The GlobalEthicist Column for Ethical Corporation Magazine on "Supply Chain Risk: What Companies Need to Know". I have another one coming out soon on supply chain risk management in and out of China which I am co-authoring with a leading American lawyer who is a long time resident of Shanghai. I will post a link to that article in a future newsletter.
As always, I welcome your feedback at abonimeblanc@gecrisk.com. Please visit www.GECRisk.com, follow me on twitter @GlobalEthicist or connect on Linked In at ![]() www.linkedin.com/in/andreabonimeblanc.
Best and until November!
