Leveraging his years of experience in this space, Dimitrief shared case studies and trends in compliance and ethics. In another “Integrity Matters” episode, Byrne spoke to Herb Wilgis, Director, Compliance, Microsoft, on policy simplification.

“We created this podcast series with a mission of providing a diverse set of ideas that showcase state-of-the-art techniques for lifting ethics, compliance, and performance across a company’s operations,” said Byrne. “We want to help the BELA community and all companies around the world collaborate to measure and improve their business processes. Most importantly, we want to demonstrate how to create long-term value through ethical practices, not only for the companies themselves but also for the ecosystems in which they operate.”

In an effort to arm the BELA community with data, resources, and content, Ethisphere also launched its new interactive BELA member resource site, which features multi-modality insights, research, whitepapers, PowerPoints from past webcasts, recordings, infographics, articles, and more. Using these tools on the new platform, BELA members will have the opportunity to implement new ideas within their programs as well as use comparative benchmarks to measure their programs against what others are doing.
