Some compliance programs are just starting to think about gathering and using operational data to monitor, assess, and improve their programs. Others have already made strides in this area. Whether you are on one end or the other of your journey, or somewhere in between, join this panel to understand how compliance programs are using data and metrics to better assess program performance and learn how they improve their efforts.
While we usually think of the broad employee base when talking about education and training, they are not the only group at your organization that needs attention. Your Board of Directors should also receive training and education on organization policies and values. In this session, learn how you can educate your Board of Directors on ethics and compliance, the what, when, and how of training board members, and the value of using case studies.
Pressure is not inherently good or bad and depends on the circumstances surrounding it and the degree to which it is applied. It often cascades downward from senior leadership, with middle managers having a huge impact on how employees experience pressure to perform. In this session, hear from the panel on how managers can help their employees navigate pressure without compromising ethical values, how to lead by example, and how manager behavior can influence that of their employees.
Not every organization is at the same point in their compliance program journey or has the same maturity level. Those with more mature programs can help cultivate and support smaller or less mature programs in their journey. Whether your compliance program is small or early its maturity, or you work with those in your value chain, let this session be your guide to building the foundations of a good ethics and compliance program at your organization or helping those who are early in their program maturity.
In her September 2022 memo, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco discussed using instruments of individual accountability such as discipline, claw backs, restitution, and others to discourage wrongdoing. This raises an interesting question: what is the best way to encourage ethical behavior at your organization? In this session, panelists will share their insights into how you can answer that question. The discussion will include how to create effective incentives or deterrents, partnering with other functions at your organization, and recognizing employees when they get it right.
Hear the latest insights from Ethisphere's current data set.
The focus on ESG has increased dramatically in recent years. This has led to promises and commitments being made on a range of fronts from carbon-neutrality to community aid. However, these statements can lead to greenwashing, the false idea that products, aims, or policies are environmentally friendly. In this session, hear from leaders about the big picture on promises versus the ability to deliver, assurance and auditing, and avoiding greenwashing.
More and more organizations are stepping up their due diligence efforts for suppliers and other third parties. They are moving beyond certifications to garner a greater understanding about the way their potential partners operate. The scope of due diligence is also broadening with more attention on areas such as human rights. In this session, panelists will discuss how organizations can increase their due diligence efforts, strategies for successful monitoring, building trust and relationships with third parties, and how data analytics play a role in due diligence.
Speaking up to a manager is a common modality for reporting concerns and potential misconduct for employees. However, with varying employee expectations, cultural and generational differences, and multiple types of work environments in the same organization, it can be challenging to prepare managers for these conversations. In this session, the panel will discuss how to prepare managers for ethics and compliance conversations, dealing with the mental health of employees, and creating an environment where employees feel safe speaking up.
It will come as no surprise to anyone to hear that it can be challenging get the attention of the Board or leadership, let alone get their time to discuss and showcase your ethics and compliance program. In this session, hear from ethics and compliance leaders on how they highlight their program and its value, get tips on creating dashboards, defining KPIs, and building reports, and learn how and how often they are able to get in front of their Board or board committees.
Training and communications are so often paired together when talking about ethics and compliance. This isn�t necessarily a bad thing as they typically go hand-in-hand. One can be used to increase the effectiveness of the other. In this session, hear from panelists about how you can utilize a communications mindset to deliver training content, keep the important conversations going throughout the year, and capitalize on the opportunity of compliance or integrity weeks.
Kicking off the final day of the Summit with more insights from the 2023 World's Most Ethical Companies data set.

There is no one-size-fits all approach in the world of risk assessments. Including a handful of ethics and compliance questions within a larger enterprise risk assessment will likely not cultivate the information needed to build a foundation for a robust ethics and compliance program. However, there is often little appetite for, or value in, using an overly broad ethics and compliance-specific risk assessment. In this session, learn from panelists on how they created ethics and compliance risk assessments that fit their organizations.
People and their expectations are one of the most powerful drivers of ESG goals and initiatives. It is imperative to listen to your employees, customers, the communities in which you operate, and those impacted by your products and practices. In this session, learn how to define and prioritize your stakeholders, focus on the �S� in ESG, and understand the risks and opportunities that your stakeholders� expectations can create.
Information and data have power and sharing it can strengthen an organization�s culture. This is especially true in the case of investigations data, which, along with other measures of ethics and compliance activities, can be shared to bolster employee confidence in the organization�s commitment to values. In this session, panelists will talk about utilizing storytelling in their communications, how to increase transparency, and using data and real examples to educate employees on the investigations process and outcomes.
Hear from experts at regulatory agencies about how enforcement efforts have been increasing, what they expect from ethics and compliance programs, and how these changes will impact their evaluation process for compliance programs.
