ECI has fostered ethics and compliance (E&C) professionals with insight and research on the most pressing issues to the E&C industry since 1922, and this new report importantly underscores the critical role management plays in reducing stakeholder pressure to compromise their ethical standards. The Ethical Leadership report relies on information gathered by ECI for their National Business Ethics Survey (NBES) and their Global Business Ethics Survey (GBES), ECI’s most rigorous study of American perceptions of ethics in the workplace, along with insights and information from leading global compliance practitioners. This report can be chiefly simplified into two key findings: 1) stronger ethical leadership equates to reduced ethics and compliance risk, and 2) stronger ethical leadership increased the likelihood organisations will keep valued employees.
