Thank you to those who joined our webcast, “Learn How Your Ethics & Compliance Program Can Help Business Leaders Make Better Decisions,” sponsored by the Ethics & Compliance Initiative.

I had the pleasure of moderating a discussion with three leading industry executives about the strategies they have used to drive change in their organizations, and how embedding E&C programs directly into their businesses has positively impacted decision-making at all levels.

For those who missed it, here is a link to the replay and a few quick excerpts:


 

 

 

 

 

“Organizations need to teach people the value of compliance. Employees should understand the business and the role they have in their company.” - Kimberlee Yapchai, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, Tenneco

“Transparency promotes trust.” -  Michele Brown, Senior Vice President, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer and Deputy General Counsel, Leidos

“You need a commitment from your CEO and your board that good ethics is good business.” - Laura K. Kennedy, Senior Vice President, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, Emergent BioSolutions
