CSR & Ethics

The ERC Fellows and the ERC research team will commence this group with a very brief review of the relationship between CSR & ethics. The primary focus of this group, however, will be on producing a document of guidelines that can provide ethics officers with best practices on ways to apply ethics and CSR into their formal corporate governance structure.

The group will review the archives of the ERC Fellows Program and identify past working group deliverables that should be repackaged and reproduced. These deliverables will be analyzed and updated as necessary, then made available to the Fellows in their repackaged form.

This group will  explore the practical application of ERC Survey Metrics within organizations.  The goal will be to develop case studies for use in business settings and business schools related to the value of company survey data and benchmark comparisons in managing the effectiveness of an ethics and compliance program.
