Compliance is a cornerstone of success in the modern business landscape, yet its value is often misunderstood. Managers may perceive compliance as a hindrance to profitability rather than a key driver of sustainable business. In this seminar, Prof. Robert C. Bird will explore the transformative role of compliance in creating an enduring culture of integrity.

The discussion will delve into how such a culture is built when employees are intrinsically motivated to comply with laws and policies because they believe it reflects the right way to act. This form of compliance is self-governing, deeply rooted in ethics, and thrives even in the absence of external monitoring.

Key topics to be covered include:

• The role of culture, legitimacy, fairness, and trust in fostering ethical behavior.

• Practical strategies for embedding compliance into the organizational fabric.

• Insights into a forward-looking international framework for aligning corporate culture with the global rule of law.
