Besides ensuring that these collections are updated with the most relevant publications available, Nicolae’s role is also to motivate persons to register as Globethics.net participants and to promote its valuable e-library resources.
More details regarding Nicolae’s ongoing involvement with the CBERN-Globethics.net project can be found here: http://cbernblog.ca/2012/08/globethics-net-interview-overview/ Blog: Profile: Réseau d’Éthique Organisationnelle du Québec Posted: 2013/05/02  In the past decade, Quebec has become a focal point of business ethics research and networking, reflected by the appearance of sectoral research centres and consultancies springing up around the province, and the Réseau d’Éthique Organisationnelle du Québec (RÉOQ, or Quebec Organizational Ethics Network) is illustrative of this trend. It should be noted that while the RÉOQ emerged fairly recently as an independent actor on the business ethics “scene” in Canada, this organization is actually the offspring of the Quebec branch of the Ethics Practitioners’ Association of Canada (EPAC/APEC) which was founded in 1996.

Originally launched in 2002 by a conglomeration of multinational companies including IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, Shell, and Unilever, as well as a number of top-tier European business schools along with the assistance of INSEAD, the central aim of the Academy is to stimulate and promote “sustainable business practices through partnership, learning, and research.” The creation of EABIS was predicated on a shared concern among European corporate bosses and academics for upholding the principles of corporate social responsibility in business and society. The organization receives much of its funding from the European Commission, and additional funding may be provided by national governments in the European Union, as well as private foundations.

Since 2006, the prize has been awarded to the winners of an annual competition established in Robin’s memory, and it strives to “stimulate innovative ideas for promoting ethics and integrity in the finance sector.”

4.40 end of the conference Teaching business ethics: "more than just words" Posted: 2013/01/31  The latest business school to take up the challenge is Ryerson University’s Ted Rogers School of Management, with a new program of education and research on “ethical leadership.” The program, to be offered through the Ted Rogers Leadership Centre at the Toronto-based management school, will have its official unveiling on Jan. 30.
The notion of business ethics as akin to mom and apple pie is not lost on Chris MacDonald, a philosopher who joined the school last fall and has been named the first director of the Jim Pattison Ethical Leadership Education and Research Program. “Leadership is great and ethical leadership is even better,” he comments. “It is easy to get people to line up and nod their heads and say it is really important.”

A new Ryerson University initiative hopes to help students, faculty, and the wider business community tackle these tough questions directly.
Thanks to a gift from Canadian business leader Jim Pattison, Ryerson University recently established The Jim Pattison Ethical Leadership Education and Research Program. The program, hosted by Ryerson's Ted Rogers Leadership Centre, will begin its ethical leadership programming as early at this fall.

Review of applications will begin January 30th, 2013 and continue until position filled or search closed. “Time” and Responsible Investing Symposium Posted: 2013/01/25  The purpose of the symposium is to bring together finance industry practitioners, academics, graduate students and other stakeholders to critically investigate the temporal dimensions of responsible investing — the future, the past, timing and the pace of time — in order to understand obstacles to and better directions for SRI. A long-term approach is increasingly hailed as the foremost benchmark for SRI, with many commentators calling for investors to emphasize long-term value preservation and creation. Another key temporal dimension is the past, and investors sometimes have failed to appreciate it or, more precisely, failed to learn from its lessons. For example, the Global Financial Crisis, although of unprecedented scale, was preceded by a history of market jolts. Another relevant temporal perspective is the pace of time, and its impact on wise and precautionary decision-making. From individual to system-level decision-making, human beings can be impatient, and this can be harmful to a sustainable financial economy. The “Slow Money” movement (like the “Slow Food” movement) is one response to this concern.
Overall, this interdisciplinary symposium will feature a range of presentations and debate that explores the temporal dimensions of the financial economy and the SRI sector, and particularly welcomes presentations on:
- The impacts and costs associated with short-termism and other temporal flaws in SRI and the financial economy more generally.
- The cultural, organizational, legal and psychological impediments to long-term and patient financial markets.
- Existing best practices in the financial sector and lessons to learn.
- Recommendations of relevant studies, such as the 2012 Kay Review.
- Role of ESG research in address the temporal impediments to SRI.
- Legal and policy mechanisms to foster behavioural change.
CBERN to Organize “Mining, Ethics and Sustainability Stream” at World Mining Congress 2013 Posted: 2013/01/24  The “Mining, Ethics and Sustainability" program stream is being organized and administered by CBERN, as part of the World Mining Congress. The purpose of the “Mining, Ethics and Sustainability Stream” of the World Mining Congress is to assess the character and the boundaries of the emerging economic, social and environmental responsibilities of mining in the 21st century required to obtain a social license to operate.
The “Mining, Ethics and Sustainability" program stream will be the core conference event for CBERN’s 6th Annual Conference, to be held in Montreal in August, 2013.
A call for papers and case studies will be issued by late spring 2012. The call for papers will seek contributions for the “Mining, Ethics and Sustainability" program stream that will explore the ethical responsibilities of mining and the capacity of mining to contribute to sustainable development. 2013 International Business Ethics Case Competition Posted: 2013/01/24  Teams of 3-5 students participate in a variety of competitions (20-to-30 minute presentation followed by Q&A; 10-minute presentation; 90-second presentation), all of which are judged by practicing ethics and compliance professionals. Each team selects a topic from any area of business ethics and describes both the problem and a proposed solution. Approximately $12,000 in prize money will be awarded to overall winners, runners-up, and divisional winners.
Please contact Kirsten Nordblom (Knordblom@lmu.edu or 310.338.2321) or Thomas White (twhite@lmu.edu or 310.338.4523) to reserve a spot in the event as soon as possible. Research Snapshots and SRI Knowledge Mobilization Posted: 2012/12/24  With the help of the PRI Academic Network and our partner Research Impact at York University, CBERN Research Assistants, Arun Vallapan and Pooja Vijayaraj at the Schulich School of Business are preparing snapshot summaries of academic research in responsible investment. Each snapshot will be available online through the CBERN website and on the Research Impact resource library.
The snapshots are part of a knowledge mobilization program hosted by the CBERN SRI Cluster that aims to engage asset owners, investment managers, and professional service organizations that are global signatories to the Principles of Responsible Investment in advance of and during the PRI Academic Network Conference in October. The program will extend beyond this event through 2012-13 with a focus on Canadian research. To have your research considered for a snapshot, contact Hilary Martin at hmartin@cbern.ca. Society for Business Ethics Conference: Accepting Emerging Scholars Submissions Posted: 2012/12/04  The Society for Business Ethics annual meeting provides an opportunity for members to present their own research results, to become acquainted with the latest developments in teaching and research, to engage in the discussion of emerging business ethics issues, and to enjoy the fellowship of other scholars and professionals in the field.
Ph.D. candidates may submit an abstract of between 750 and 1,000 words describing a research project in business ethics or related domains.

Blog: Organizational Profile: EthicsCentre CA Posted: 2012/12/04  The Canadian Centre for Ethics and Corporate Policy (CCECP) – better known by its agnomen “EthicsCentre CA” since 2002 – is an organisation that has been a tireless promoter of “ethical orientation and culture in Canadian organisations” since its inception in 1988. The roots of this organisation are found in faith-based activities and can be traced back to the King Bay Chaplaincy that was established by Rev. Graham Tucker in the 1980s. The Chaplaincy was designed to be a spiritual centre in downtown Toronto specifically designed to give professionals at high-stress financial firms reprieve during major global financial turmoil during that decade. Building upon his experience as head of the Chaplaincy, Rev. Tucker and his colleagues decided in 1988 to establish a non-denominational organisation that would work to instill their visions of ethical business principles throughout Canadian civil society.
Today, EthicsCentre CA operates as a non-partisan body and registered Canadian charity, and it is a fully volunteer-staffed initiative. The penultimate mission of EthicsCentre CA is to “promote the positive role of ethical decision-making” by functioning as “a forum and catalyst for constructive discussion and debate” vis-à-vis Canadian business policies and practices, as well as those of other domestic actors. With its headquarters located in the heart of downtown Toronto – the financial capital of Canada – the EthicsCentre CA staff is within a stone’s throw of some of the most pivotal corporate offices in the country. The close proximity to Canada’s corporate heartland makes EthicsCentre CA uniquely positioned to work alongside major players in the world of Canadian business and finance, such as partners like the BMO Financial Group, CIBC, Deloitte, Export Development Canada, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, and Sun Life Financial (just to name a few).

Location: ADR room 1014, Ignat Kaneff Building
Come to learn more about corporate governance, the challenges facing emerging markets, and the work of the Global Corporate Governance Forum (a multi-donor trust fund co-founded by the World Bank Group and the OECD). Blog: An Ethics Database for the 21st Century – Globethics.NET Posted: 2012/08/28  I recently had the wonderful opportunity to interview Nicolae Irina, CBERN’s E-Librarian and contributor to Globethics.net to get some insight about the Globethics.net library – an expansive, state-of-the-art, and totally free resource on all-things-ethical. As a PhD student in York University’s Philosophy Department, Nicolae’s work is focused on the relation between corporate social responsibility and human rights, the ongoing discussion of the UN Draft Norms and the subsequent debate over the Reports of the UN Secretary General’s Special Representative on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises. The Principles for Responsible Investment: Addressing Investment Risks in the 21st Century Posted: 2012/08/21  Simon Fraser University's Beedie School of Business, the Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE), and the UN-backed Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) are hosting an event on October 16, 2012 in Vancouver, BC, that will feature keynote speaker Dr. Wolfgang Engshuber, Chair of PRI.

Blog: More Flashlights; Better Vision: A snapshot view of the CBERN PhD Winter Research Meeting 2012 Posted: 2012/06/26  Clearly I was being privileged to get a sneak peek into this behind the scenes world that CBERN, these PhD students, and the advisors are all a part of. Right now there is a ton of CSR and ethic based projects, papers, and ideas floating about. However no one seems to really have a grasp on what this means for the world at large. These are the people who are grabbing some of these ideas and showing how they are useful or what the true natures behind these concepts are. These are the champions of ethics who are working to make the place a little better and a little clearer on how to make the best of this interconnected, uncertain and complex place we all call home. Canadian Summit on Socially Responsible Investment Posted: 2012/04/25  Registration for the annual conference on socially responsible investment hosted by the Social Investment Organization is open.
