Doing business ethically, makes for better business

The IBE was established in 1986 to encourage high standards of business behaviour based on ethical values. Our vision is to lead the dissemination of knowledge and good practice in business ethics.

We raise public awareness of the importance of doing business ethically and collaborate with other UK and international organisations with interests and expertise in business ethics.

We help organisations to strengthen their ethics culture and encourage high standards of business behaviour based on ethical values.

We offer practical and confidential advice on ethical issues, policy, implementation, support systems and codes of ethics, helping organisations to provide guidance to staff and build relationships of trust with their principal stakeholders.
