Ethical Challenges and the Need for Proactive LeadershipC1 1:30–2:45 pm

Two leading ethics professionals examine the “who, what, when and how” of ethics and compliance and the board by asking: Who are the senior level players critical to the identification and resolution of ethical issues in a business? What are the key procedural andsubstantive business integrity and compliance issues that boards need to address? Whenshould boards be informed about, and monitor, ethical issues and when should they proactivelyintervene? How should boards tackle and resolve ethical issues—from the pedestrian to the material—in a manner consistent with their fiduciary responsibilities?

Moderator, Ronald E. Berenbeim, Principal Researcher, The Conference BoardAndrea Bonime-Blanc, Esq., General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Chief ComplianceOfficer, Daylight Forensic & Advisory, LLCJacqueline E. Brevard, Esq., Vice President, Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer, Merck & Co., Inc.

Monitoring for RetaliationC2 1:30–2:45 pm

Nearly every company has a non-retaliation policy but most ethics officers (and employees) arestill concerned about whether policies really have “teeth”. Further, employees who believe theyare experiencing retaliation may be reluctant to report their concerns because they fear thingswill only get worse. Using keypad voting, a hands-on data analysis exercise, and a discussion ofboth overt and subtle retaliation using real cases, this workshop will highlight the importance ofprotecting employees from retaliation and teach ethics officers how to recognize red-flags. Youwill walk away with a new framework to implement a retaliation monitoring program.

In this session, we will discuss steps that can be taken to communicate standards and expectations to suppliers, monitor employee-supplier relations, and address allegations of wrongdoing involving suppliers. In addition, we will discuss what can be done toassist suppliers to build their own ethics and compliance programs with the goal of improvingbusiness relations, protecting reputations and minimizing the potential for conflicts, gift andentertainment violations, and misuse of company assets.
