Promoting business ethics

The Dhillon Centre views business ethics as encompassing how individuals and companies can operate in ways that promote integrity, compassion, inclusion, responsibility, and societal good. We consider business ethics to be a spectrum with ethical leadership and decision making by individuals on one end, and organizational values, strategies, and practices that foster responsible business on the other end of the continuum.
 

Our vision: Responsible business for social good

A more just, sustainable, and prosperous society enabled by business embracing ethics, sustainability, and social responsibility.
 

Our mission

The Dhillon Centre will serve as the heart of UBC Sauder’s diverse approach to advancing ethics and responsible business. The Centre will facilitate the creation and dissemination of values-based research and educate current and future business leaders on ethics, sustainability, and social responsibility.
 

The Dhillon Centre pillars
