Aim of the workshop: to gain awareness of the ethical challenges your company can face, and different ways of meeting them.
In his article “Corporate ethics is for the best”, Julian Baggini explains that to lead an ethical life, applying abstract principles isn't enough – we need to reinforce our own moral character through practice.
