Inhoud

During the Ethics & CSR lectures, we pay attention, among other things, to developing knowledge of basic moral theories and insights that are needed to look at ethical issues in organizations in an objective way. For this we first look at our own norms and values that influence the personal perspective of (ultimately) business ethical themes.
We also look at codes of conduct, a CSR vision for an organization and whether business-related actions fit within sustainable business operations.
These different insights into (business) ethics are used as the basis for working out a moral dilemma from practice according to a phase method, in order to arrive at a morally responsible action (in an organization).
