About Ethical Systems
Ethical Systems is founded on the conviction, backed by research, that in the long run, good ethics is good business.
Our collaborators are top researchers—most of them are faculty at leading business schools—who believe that wise leaders take a holistic, systematic approach to organizational culture in order to foster greater integrity in business.
Housed in the Institute for Corporate Governance and Ethics at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, Ethical Systems’s mission is to harness research, from leaders in academia, to transform the ethical practice of business in the corporate world.
