Greetings,
June has come in with a roar for us at GEC Risk with multiple client and educational events taking place almost simultaneously. Last week we successfully engaged in, oversaw or contributed to, a "Supply Chain in and out of China" Webcast, two Corporate Compliance Council workshops - one on risk management and the other on conflicts of interest management, and a very successful, well attended and diverse annual Global Strategic & Enterprise Risk Management Conference, all for The Conference Board where Jacqueline E. Brevard, Senior Advisor to GEC Risk, and I are Program Directors.
The primary focus now is on Madrid, Spain, where GEC Risk and our strategic partner, Impact on Integrity, are holding a one day interactive executive workshop on "Integrity, Risk & Reputation" on June 17th. The leading Spanish law firm, Garrigues, is our host for this workshop for senior executives, board members and business people. Seats are still available: http://www.gecrisk.com/resources/ If you have colleagues or friends in Spain and Europe who might be interested in attending please let them know!
In anticipation of our workshop, Murray Grainger and I co-authored an op-ed for Spain's leading business daily, FT's Expansion, for which we wrote about the "Seven Valuable Virtues of Intelligent Corporate Responsibility" (in a twist on the seven deadly sins concept). You can find the link to download this article in this newsletter.
Also, FT's Agenda, a publication for boards and directors, interviewed me for a piece on FCPA enforcement in which I was able to share some great experiences I had almost 20 years ago creating a then uncommon but very robust FCPA program for interntional power company, PSEG Global, where I was general counsel and chief ethics and compliance officer.
Lastly, I will be putting the final touches on a new book I am writing which is due my publisher, DŌ Sustainability, very shortly. If all goes well, The Reputation Risk Handbook: A Guide for Managers and Directors, will be coming out in the late summer.
Have a great start to the summer (or winter if you're due south!).

FCPA ENFORCEMENT PUTS FIXERS IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Melissa Anderson, FT Agenda, June 9, 2014 Interview

In referencing the importance of a robust global anti-corruption program, she is quoted as saying: “Companies that are driving a robust reputation management system that puts integrity into strategy in addition to all the bells and whistles necessary to develop financial profits and revenues — those will be the great companies of tomorrow."
