Why I chose the IBE...

I chose to become an IBE trustee because I’m convinced that its work to promote an ethical approach to business is critical to securing the private sector’s licence to operate in these challenging times. Unless more companies demonstrate how adopting responsible practices both strengthens their businesses as well as serves society, the role of the private sector will increasingly – and rightly so – be questioned. Capitalism needs to be seen to be working for everyone and business needs to be seen as a key partner for building a fairer society.
