Introduction to Ethical Corporate Behaviour

This course has been developed to provide learners with an understanding of how the actions and behaviour of an organisation define it. It will explore corporate culture and values and how these are communicated to the outside world. It will also help you to understand how robust anti-corruption policies are crucial in promoting ethical corporate behaviour.

Governance training can be so much more than just a box-ticking exercise. It’s the foundation on which to build an ethical reputation for the company you work for. Everyone has a part to play in deciding how you want to be defined by the outside world. By positioning governance training as an opportunity for all employees to build a modern, sustainable, ethical business for the future, you can tap into everyone’s desire to be proud and have bragging rights for where they work.

How do our actions define us? This course will explore how the culture and values of an organisation define how people see it and kickstart learners on their journey towards understanding and contributing to ethical behaviour in business. Understanding the importance of ethical corporate behaviour and the part each employee plays in building an ethical culture is the first step towards a deeper understanding of governance issues in an organisation.

This course builds foundational knowledge of why ethical corporate behaviour is vital to an organisation’s success. It kicks learners off on their journey towards understanding the details and reasons behind the rules, regulations, and policies that underpin their work. We’ll explore how our behaviour in the outside world shows our customers who we are as a business. We’ll consider how to behave on social media, how to be transparent about affiliations, and how much tax you pay. We’ll also consider how the culture of an organisation and how you behave with your colleagues builds positivity and prevent corruption and negative business practices.
