How?

Business ethics, compliance and corporate responsibility are key elements that define modern business competitiveness. Leading companies set the standards of performance and behaviour and are clear about what they aspire to be. However, they also operate in a complex, fast changing and competitive business environment. Based on LSM values of excellence and ethics, this certificate aims to provide professionals and leaders with the tools to manage those complex dilemnas and implement effective, agile and appropriate cultures and programmes throughout their business.

For whom? 

This Business Ethics and Compliance programme is open to participants and executives from various backgrounds: ethics and compliance professionals (part time or full time), working for medium and large companies, lawyers, CFOs, management consultants, risk managers, auditors, CEOs, board members, directors, regulators, public officers and international directors, among others.

The teaching method will combine theory and practical experimentation through case studies. In thematic conferences, recognized field experts will share their experiences (successes and failures), discuss specific ethics and compliance risks and conduct vigorous discussions with participants about how to articulate ethics and management in their companies.

Participants will integrate the knowledge they acquire in a team analysis of a complex case study, involving critical debates that encourage practice with group-based analysis.

A final personal paper also is required. This paper will either develop a concrete plan pertaining to one of the course topics or else describe the implementation of a certain number of aspects studied in a specific case chosen by the student (e.g. his or her own company). It will be presented in front of a jury of experts and other participants.
