Assessing Corporate Ethics

How Well Are We Doing?

Would you like to be able to assess your progress toward ethical standards?

This week I’m sharing tools for comparing business practices with global ethical standards in the areas of

• human rights
• labor
• environment
• anti-corruption and
• culture.

Three Free Tools: 

• The first tool is a Multi-Category Self-Assessment Based on the UN Global Compact at http://www.globalcompactselfassessment.org/aboutthistool.

• The second tool is a Quick Check Tool for Human Rights: Human Rights Compliance Assessment (HRCA) Quick Check provided by The Danish Institute for Human Rights & The Human Rights and Business Project

• The third tool is a Corporate Culture Check: Assessing Corporate Culture  from Ethikos and Corporate Conduct Quarterly, EthikosPublication.com. Also see 20 Questions to Ask About Your Code of Conduct at EthikosPublication.com.
