Corporate Ethics Management Council
Today’s senior ethics and compliance executives are challenged to keep ethics and compliance policies and practices up-to-date and top-of-mind for employees and leaders. But more than policy is required—organizations want a culture of integrity. Building one takes time and effort.
The Corporate Ethics Management Council (CEMC) is a national community of senior ethics and compliance leaders focused on building a culture of integrity within their organizations. Member-driven discussions create opportunities for meaningful exchange as they seek to develop strategies, policies, and programs that foster ethical behaviour, build trust, and go beyond regulatory compliance.
Who Should Join?
Senior leaders who oversee ethics and compliance programs within their organizations. Members are keen to learn from their peers and actively contribute to discussions.
Key Objectives
- Bring together leaders in a safe environment that promotes collaborative dialogue.
- Explore emerging trends in the Canadian ethics and compliance landscape and their business impacts.
- Share tools, best practices, and innovations to effectively manage compliance programs and build a culture of integrity.
