EBEN

The European Business Ethics Network is a non-profit association founded in 1987. It is an international network that promotes the ethical standards in companies. The welcome page on their site clarifies their most important objectives, namely:

-to promote ethics and excellence in businesses;
-to increase awareness about ethical challenges in the global marketplace;
-to enable dialogue on the role of business in society.


The EBEN tries to reach as many people as possible by organizing conferences, fora, etc.
In over 40 countries, the members of EBEN come together to exchange views on different aspects of ethical behavior in a company. You can join a national network and an international network. But either way the members meet plenty of academics, practitioners or representatives from companies in order to discuss the ethics required in a business.


I think it is interesting to know that there are organizations that try to keep up the current growth of ethical behavior and help out companies that are struggling with their ethical policy.
