"Ethisphere is an influential beacon for both good companies, aspirants and laggards alike. Ethisphere uniquely recognizes that even companies with less than perfect historical corporate citizenship operating records need to have their successes celebrated along the way if they decide to conscientiously improve their ethics, compliance and community practices. Anything else would simply build those companies’ resistance to productive engagement with third parties. It’s this sort of pragmatic approach that actually delivers Ethisphere’s power to influence, and help make and retain these companies as productive members of the corporate citizenship community."

The research-based Ethisphere Institute is a leading international think-tank dedicated to the creation, advancement and sharing of best practices in business ethics, corporate social responsibility, anti-corruption and sustainability. The Institute’s associated membership groups, the Ethisphere Council and Business Ethics Leadership Alliance, are forums for business ethics that includes over 200 leading corporations, universities and institutions. [...]

The Joint Committee was formed to promote ethics and compliance thought leadership and education as a means of elevating the dialogue on these topics in the corporate and government sectors.

Ethisphere is the latest in a series of organizations founded and/or nurtured by Alex Brigham, a well respected voice in the ethics and compliance field. Alex has had a long history of incubating organizations that help advance the industry of business ethics through aiding in public education and developing of publicly-available best practices standards, benchmarks and frameworks that companies can openly and freely use to learn, compare and improve themselves.
