Our company is organizing the Global Ethics Forum at the UNOG on July 2, 2009.
The Global Ethics Forum is the annual global meeting providing recommendations and pragmatic
solutions to set up the ethical changes in business development, to improve the social
responsibility and to develop the sustainable growth for which capitalism can grow under more
ethical standards of business practices and better consideration of human beings.
The Global Ethics Forum brings together the leading minds and all the parties involved in business
corporations, economic and ethical research, academia, education, rating agencies, labour unions,
NGOs, media, international organizations and governments from different countries.
During one and half day, at the United Nations Office in Geneva, through plenary and workshop
sessions, delegates, partners and speakers are confronting and sharing their business ethics
challenges, perspectives and practices.
The Global Ethics Forum supports the United Nations Global Compact.
