Ethics matter. Whether in business or in politics, the environment or emerging technologies, we manage ethical challenges on a daily basis. On most days, we take these challenges as they come. On October 16th, we will take steps to put our principles into action.
Launched by Carnegie Council in 2014, Global Ethics Day is an opportunity for institutions to hold events on or around this day to explore the essential role of ethics, and how we can strive to make the world, quite simply, better.
How can you get involved and spread the word?
Organize an activity such as a lecture, panel, debate, film screening, or environmental clean-up. Popular topics include ethics in business, protecting the environment, ethics in the classroom, personal values, democracy, and human rights.
