The Future of Business Ethics Education:

Educating Responsible Managers for a Changing World

What role should business ethics play in shaping the managers and organizations of tomorrow? As businesses face growing expectations related to sustainability, technological change, social responsibility, and stakeholder engagement, ethics is becoming increasingly central to management and organizing.

Join us for an engaging panel discussion that brings together perspectives from academia, business practice, and students to explore the future of business ethics education and its contribution to responsible leadership and sustainable business. Our panelists will share their experiences and insights on why business ethics education matters in today's rapidly changing world, how ethics can be integrated into management and business curricula, and what kinds of competencies future leaders need to address emerging challenges. The conversation will also consider how universities, organizations, and students themselves can work together to foster ethical awareness, critical thinking, and responsible action.

Whether you are a student, educator, researcher, business professional, this seminar offers an opportunity to reflect on the role of ethics in shaping more responsible and sustainable organizations.
