Do business leaders need a moral compass?
We support the Sustainable Development Goals
We’re all familiar with corporate scandals, where organisations have been caught acting unethically.
Recently, we have a situation where energy companies are making record profits while their own workers and wider society struggle with the cost of living, including soaring energy prices.
We look into how business can be a force for good, and why it’s so important for business leaders to be ethical, particularly when some political leaders are not.

This mission supports our Responsible management goal
Introduction to this mission
Listen to our Responsible Management Goal Adviser, Richard Oloruntoba, as he discusses the background to this latest mission.
What do leaders need in terms of ethics & morals?
We've chosen articles and opinion pieces that discuss what we need from our leaders. We also look at the limits of corporate morality, and why ethical leadership in politics is more important than ever.
Why does ethical leadership matter?
We look at why we need more ethical leadership in business, the benefits to business and the issue of modern slavery.
High-profile scandals – what lessons have we learned?
Here we’ve chosen some articles, book chapters, and books that discuss high profile ethical scandals in business and the lessons that can be learned from them.
Invisible in the boardroom
This mission focuses on diversity among business leaders and how businesses can ensure that all voices are heard, including Indigenous peoples, and people of all genders, ages and ethnicities.
