Enderle Chairs International Ethics Conference in Brazil

Nearly 400 people from 41 countries attended the Second World Congress of Business, Economics and Ethics in Brazil this summer. Chaired by Georges Enderle, the O'Neil Professor of International Business Ethics, and Cecilia Arruda, a professor at the Escola de AdministraÁ„o de Empresas de S„o Paulo, the Congress brought academic and corporate leaders together to discuss the ethical challenges of globalization. "The further globalization advances, the more important it is to 'globalize' business ethics as well," said Enderle.

Scholars and corporate leaders took on a wide range of challenging issues such as competition and social responsibility and ways to manage sustainable and human development. Keynote speakers included Mark Moody-Stuart of Royal Dutch/Shell and the founder of the "microcredit movement," Mohammed Yunus of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh.
