Certification in ethics and compliance
“When innovation outpaces the law, ethics becomes a key frame of reference. The certification offered at the Executive Education allows leaders to identify and resolve ethical dilemmas, which is a condition for building trust. Although trust is the currency of ethics, everyone knows it cannot be bought; it is earned by making the right choices and adopting good behaviour.”
– Emmanuel Lulin –
Former Chief Ethics Officer, L’Oréal
