Integrity, accountability, and transparency
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and transparency.
Independence
We offer independent perspective and advising.
Transformative thinking
We provide expertise in today’s most cutting edge and critical ethics challenges, including those relating to technology, global systemic risks, and market and political instability. We work to transform thinking—about specific ethics challenges, organizational culture, systems, relationship with regulators, and business models.
Courage
We say what we think. We tell our clients what we see, objectively and thoroughly. We solve problems creatively and efficiently. We make it easier for our clients to speak up and to make courageous ethical decisions that enhance success and relationships.
Global and Cross Sector
We work on global and local challenges and reputation protection. We believe that effective ethical decision-making crosses boundaries among business, government, and non-profit sectors and breaks down silos within organizations.
Team work
We work as a team. We work as partners with our clients, flexibly adapting to organizational priorities and constraints, external challenges, size, and personalities.
Confidentiality
Every aspect of our client work is strictly confidential, including the identity of our clients.
Shared learning
We share the learning from our own research, successes, and mistakes. We also share lessons learned by working with others across a global network.
Social Responsibility
We strive to contribute our approach to ethical decision-making to society beyond our clients through pro bono projects and furthering the public debate about ethics issues. We care deeply about the environment and the impact of our work on it.
