Companies are committed to ethical standards for various reasons. Some see it as a key part of their risk-management strategy. Others view it as a powerful sales and marketing differentiator. Others have a sense of social and ethical responsibility that extends beyond a simple mission statement.

Whatever the reason, a commitment to ethics is at the core of a successful, enduring business. We offer a series of ethics best practice services suitable for:

• Corporations 

• Boards of Directors 

• Sales Teams 

• Financial Service Providers 

• Professional Associations 

• Governments and Government Agencies 

• Charities and Non-Profit Organizations 

• Educational Institutions 

• Hospitals and Health Care Providers

Our ethical issues consulting services include:

Ethical issue management, when a particular ethical issue is facing your company and threatens to become a moral, legal or public relations nightmare, an impartial analysis and second opinion may help to resolve minor ethical issues before they become major corporate problems. These include employee issues, human rights concerns, investment choices, and product liability issues. We also offer mediation services to resolve ethical issues.

An ethics inventory, where we take stock of your current established structures and procedures for promoting an ethical atmosphere, whether it is at the Board level, for a sales team or in your HR department. This helps you develop and refine your ethics best practices and identify potential problems before they become real - and costly - ones.

Ethics workshops, talks and seminars, to help employees, teams and staff deal with ethical issues in a way that reflects well on your company without sacrificing profit or productivity. These workshops are geared to your specific industry and needs, with practical lessons from real case studies.

Ethics best practice is a journey and not a destination. Your internal ethics best practices must develop to meet your changing needs and challenges. We can review your existing structures and procedures and help you develop the tools you need to continually improve your corporate ethical culture.

Ethics consulting is not about imposing a particular ethical viewpoint on our clients. We are committed to helping you explore your organization's values and objectives and assisting you in developing ethical structures and best practices to fit your corporate culture and goals while minimizing risk and maintaining profitability. It's also not a lot of New Age hand-holding or academic mumbo-jumbo. We pride ourselves on finding practical ethical solutions for the real world.

We have worked with public and private companies, financial service providers, investors, charities and the not-for profit sectors, as well as government agencies and professional associations. Our wide range of experience allows us to apply our skills to many different areas. We are also committed to discretion and your confidentiality.

Companies and organizations are committed to developing and enforcing ethical standards for various reasons. Some see it as a key part of their risk-management strategy. Others view it as a powerful sales and marketing differentiator. Others have a sense of social and ethical responsibility that extends beyond a simple mission statement.

Whatever your reason or need, don't make the mistake of believing that a commitment to corporate ethical behaviour means you have to sacrifice your competitive advantage. What it means is that when you have to make the tough decisions, it will be for the right reasons.
