Sir Adrian Cadbury, Professor Jack Mahoney and Clive Wright
OBE each received the awards from the Institute of Business
Ethics, which was marking its 20th anniversary at the City
breakfast.
“Business ethics has come a long way since the Institute
was started in 1986, with most large companies now having
codes of ethics. Each in their own way, these three individuals
have played an important part in moving business in the right
direction. It is very pleasing to be honouring them in this
way, and to thank them for their impressive contributions
to this increasingly important part of business management,”
said IBE Director, Philippa Foster Back.
