Greetings,
Late this summer, I had the good fortune to sit down with NYSE Governance Services for their video series Inside Compliance. The host, Eric Morehead, VP, and I explored two main topics: "A Strategic Approach to Governance, Risk and Compliance" (which is available here: http://bit.ly/1xZ9e2n) and, just released today, Part II: "Reputation, Crisis and Value Transformation" (http://bit.ly/1thopNJ).
My new book The Reputation Risk Handbook: Surviving and Thriving in the Age of Hyper-Transparency published last month by Oxford UK-based publisher Dō Sustainability is doing well and, to my surprise, has made it to several amazon kindle best seller lists (http://amzn.to/1tTttg3). To find out more about the book, please click here (http://bit.ly/1284TMR) or to order a copy, please click here: http://bit.ly/1mIWCrN.
The big upcoming event before year-end for us is the honor of making the keynote speech at the Third Annual Oil & Gas Anti-Corruption Forum in Bogota, Colombia, on December 9th, the annual global anti-corruption day, at the invitation of EcoPetrol.
For those of you in London on December 1st and interested, our strategic partner, Murray Grainger, CEO of Impact on Integrity, will be conducting the first ever Global Business Ethics Challenge interactive workshop in London at the offices of Norton Rose. A few seats are still available - to reserve your seat, please click on the link in the story featured in this newsletter.
Finally, there are two new reading resources available for those of you interested in (a) how ESG issues fit into risk and compliance programs (see Ethical Corporation Magazine column featured in this newsletter) and (b) a "Life Cycle Guide to Ethics & Compliance Programs" published in this month's NACD Directorship Magazine and co-written with Martin Coyne II, President & CEO of the NACD New Jersey Chapter, and a former C-suite executive and current board member of several companies.
I wish all of you in the North a warm season and all of you in the South a wonderful spring. And for those of you in the U.S., a very happy Thanksgiving together with your loved ones!
Cheers and until next month,
Andrea

A Life-Cycle Guide to Ethics & Compliance Programs
By Andrea Bonime-Blanc
& Martin Coyne II
NACD Directorship Magazine
November/December 2014 Edition
Boards and executives often struggle with what constitutes an appropriate, cost-efficient, and effective ethics and compliance program for their companies. The issue gets even more complicated when one factors in the stage of development, type, sector, footprint, regulatory environment, and other complexities specific to the business in question.
This article provides specific details of the key components of an effective ethics and compliance program corporate officers and directors should consider depending on their stage of development, i.e., the life-cycle point in which they find themselves at a given time.
