The David J. BenDaniel Lecture in Business Ethics emphasized the evolving role of ethics in business leadership, featuring Sanda Ojiambo from the UN Global Compact. This event, attended by students and faculty, highlighted how business leaders must navigate complex challenges like climate change and inequality while maintaining profitability. Ojiambo discussed the Global Compact's focus on responsible corporate practices and the importance of integrating ethical considerations into business strategies. The changing demands on CEOs point towards a future where ethical leadership is increasingly essential.
"We're not saying they make a business perfect, but they're absolutely foundational."
"Profit and purpose, people and planet can all go together."
"Ethical leadership is a trait that will continue to evolve and become more difficult over time."
"CEOs today have to do so much more than focus on products or markets; it involves social issues."
