Breakfast with Alison Taylor and Richard Bistrong

Jun 7 · Live from Helsinki

8.30-10.30 EEST Helsinki city (venue to be confirmed)

Let’s celebrate the summer season start with a nice breakfast on June 7th at an open event hosted together by Code of Conduct Company and Nordic Business Ethics Initiative!

While enjoying the breakfast we will have a relaxed conversation together with Alison Taylor and Richard Bistrong who are visiting us all the way from US. Both Alison and Richard are internationally recognised, prominent advocates for responsible business conduct. Alison has just published a Harvard Business Review Press Book “Higher Ground: How Business Can Do the Right Thing in a Turbulent World”. Richard is known for his touching story with a frontline perspective on ethics and integrity.

The topics we will discuss with Alison and Richard include complexities of leading a business today, demanding stakeholder expectations and very practical tips on how the sustainability and compliance professions should (and must) evolve.

We look forward meeting you at the breakfast!
