Episode Description On this week's episode, Alison Taylor, Clinical Associate Professor at NYU's Stern School of Business, joins CIPE's Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific, John Morrell, to discuss her new book, Higher Ground: How Business Can Do the Right Thing in a Turbulent World. Professor Taylor, who also serves as the Executive Director of Ethical Systems, draws from her professional experience and academic research to explain why modern businesses care about anti-corruption practices, how she's seen ethical compliance change over time, and what the next era of corporate governance should look like. Our contemporary business environment displays stark differences from those of the past decades. Ethical conduct is now increasingly seen as more than a legal risk around bribery and fraud, as a risk which can be resolved through compliance processes alone. Urgent ecological concerns, unpredictable politics, and heightened employee activism all present business leaders with fresh challenges. Professor Taylor explains that we must now move past entrenched legalistic approaches and into broader conversations about human behavior in organizations and how companies should best exist in their social contexts.    These new approaches follow the same collective action and sustainability models so often practiced by CIPE and our local partners. In her view, business interests have much to learn from anticorruption and development organizations on how to best operate in a world where transparency can be more important than profit. Listen as John and Alison exchange insights for our evolving world.   Professor Taylor

They discuss the crucial role businesses must play in tackling climate change and other environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges. Key topics covered:

In this new installment of the Doing Sustainability podcast, Alison joins Gary Baker and Roxanne “Rocket” White to discuss the importance of considering the interaction between values, culture, and ethics in creating positive or negative feedback loops, as well as why she believes that companies should focus on solving problems within their own operations before making big promises about solving societal issues. Alison is clear on the need for a better conversation that focuses on the core issues and challenges of sustainability. She believes that companies should center their ethical efforts on treating human beings with dignity and respect, which she acknowledges may seem obvious but is often overlooked. Alison works at the intersection of corporate integrity, risk, and responsibility. She is a clinical professor at NYU Stern School of Business, where she teaches professional responsibility, sustainability, and leadership classes to undergraduate, MBA, and Executive MBA students. Alison is also Executive Director of Ethical Systems (which is part of NYU Stern School of Business) and is currently writing a book for HBR Press on how the landscape for business ethics is transforming.

She emphasizes the importance of thinking holistically, aligning internal departments, and creating a culture of accountability. She also highlights the changing nature of leadership and the need for leaders to prioritize diversity, psychological safety, and social skills.

Today, I welcome back my friend Alison Taylor to the show. Alison is a clinical professor at the NYU Stern School of Business and she is also the Executive Director of Ethical Systems. She spent the last two decades consulting with multinationals on anti-corruption, risk, human rights, stakeholder engagement, and ethics and compliance. And she is the author of the fabulous new book, Higher Ground:  How Business Can Do the Right Thing in a Turbulent World. And one of the reasons why I think it's a fabulous book is because it opens up a long overdue grown-up conversation about business in society. Alison takes on and challenges a number of pithy myths and notions that this stuff is always easy, and that there are always win-wins all over the place. The reality is, it's quite hard. And whether we're talking about employee unrest over racial injustice, justice, supply chains, climate change, or bribery and fraud, some of the things that may seem obvious and easy are actually anything but - doing the right thing can be very confusing, and there are lots of traps associated with it, including balancing interests, what ethics really means, how the concepts of transparency and “zero tolerance” can get in the way, and Alison shares insights on some of these challenges. We also talk about trust, which stakeholders companies should listen to, how the book has been received (and it's been received incredibly well, but as you will hear, you'll be surprised to learn where some of the pushback has come from) and so much more. This is a great conversation!

How can businesses do the right thing? What does that even mean and why does or should it matter?What is Business Ethics? Business ethics used to be a case of dealing with things like bribery and fraud, which companies tried to — and often did — manage with rules and processes. But nowadays, in a world where every employee and consumer has the ability to go viral on social media, it's a much harder dynamic to manage.Businesses are under increasing scrutiny, not just for their business practices and supply chains but also for their position on issues such as racial injustice and quality.The idea that they're simply there to maximise shareholder value, while not breaking the law is no longer a tenable approach.

In addition to denying the existence of a substantial, enduring self, Buddhists are usually understood to deny the existence of a God or gods. However, in Classical Theism and Buddhism: Connecting Metaphysical and Ethical Systems (Bloomsbury, 2022), Tyler Dalton McNabb and Erik Baldwin argue that there is conceptual space to affirm both basic Buddhist metaphysical claims and Classical Theism without contradiction. Their book argues that three fundamental commitments are generally agreed upon by Buddhists: all things are interdependent, impermanent, and empty of "own-being" (svabhāva). However, since Classical Theists like Aquinas deny that God—who is eternal, immutable, impassible, and metaphysically simple—is a thing among other things, accepting the existence of such a God poses no problem for a Buddhist. The book unpacks this thesis, also taking up historical Buddhist and contemporary philosophical objections to a divine being, arguing for a synthesis of Buddhist and theistic ethics and soteriology, and closing with a discussion of the problem of religious pluralism for Christians and Buddhists. Malcolm Keating is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Yale-NUS College. His research focuses on Sanskrit works of philosophy in Indian traditions, in the areas of language and epistemology. He is the author of Language, Meaning, and Use in Indian Philosophy (Bloomsbury Press, 2019) and host of the podcast Sutras & Stuff. Learn more about your ad choices.

Our guest today is Alison Taylor, clinical associate professor at New York University Stern School and Business Executive Director of Ethical Systems, a non-profit research collaboration focused on bringing the best ideas on business ethics from academia into the corporate sector. She has had a diverse career working in corporate investigations in emerging markets, leading her to question the role of culture and leadership in businesses. Her background in political science, history, and organizational psychology has given her a unique perspective on business ethics. She believes that society has lost consensus on what it means to be a good business and her upcoming book aims to clarify this confusing debate. She argues that organizations should focus less on rules and compliance programs and more on building ethical decision-making capacity. They should bring in the wisdom of the collective and have debates about gray areas to jointly make decisions based on the collective's wisdom. Rather than treating ethics as a fundamental black-and-white issue, she suggests building thoughtful capacity for ethical reasoning among the workforce and in society in general. We talk about Elon Musk's decision to lay off the director of Ethics, Transparency and Accountability at Twitter, she believes that he may have underestimated the complexity of content moderation and is now facing the consequences of his decision. She raises the topic of transparency and questions the notion that more transparency leads to more trust in businesses, despite the increase in the level of information available about corporate conduct over the past two decades. She argues that that businesses need to change how they think about ethics and be more transparent and honest, while also being more restrained in what they promise to achieve.  She suggests corporations should have a more focused strategy on what they can and cannot solve and stop exaggerating and spinning a story to deflect scrutiny.

We think a lot about sustainability at the macro level. In terms of policy, regulation, and strategy and disclosure.

How do you make your money? Does your business have morals? The world is changing, says Alison Taylor, Clinical Professor at NYU Stern School of Business and Executive Director at Ethical Systems. People care, consumers care, employees care, everyone has started caring more. And if you want to futureproof your organization, you need to put morals back into it. It's not about how much money a company makes now, it's about how you make your money, and who wins and who loses while you're doing that. A company needs to grow and make profit to survive, says Alison, that is not a debatable point. Just as human beings need a beating heart to survive. But a human being does not exist solely to be a vehicle for its beating heart, in the same way your company can no longer solely make profit to survive, you need to find another reason to exist.

In The Persuasion Lab this week I am honored to have Alison Taylor, Clinical Professor at New York University Stern School of Business, Executive Director at Ethical Systems, and author of a book to be published by the Harvard Business Review Press. Professon Taylor provides an in-depth perspective on how business influence by doing the right thing in a turbulent world.  Professor Taylor is a global thought leader on the ups and downs of ESG scores, or Environmental, Social, and Governance standards that many private equity and public pension funds have wrestled with in 2022.  Join us for this provocative episode.If you like the topics we discuss, sign up for our newsletter here.We are now taking applications for the Negotiation DoJo (TM) power by The Persuaion Lab(TM), where you can build negotiation muscle memory in any situation.  Description and application here. Got questions about the lab?

I am delighted to welcome Alison Taylor back to the show. Alison works on challenges at the intersection of corporate integrity, risk, and responsibility. She is the Executive Director at Ethical Systems, a collaboration between leading academics working on behavioural science, organisational psychology, and systems thinking. She is also an adjunct professor at the NYU Stern School of Business. She has advised companies for many years on integrity, anti-corruption, sustainability, and political risk. On top of that, and for the purposes of this conversation Alison is one of LinkedIn's Top Voices for 2022. And this is where we get into the topic of focus for this episode. Alison is one of the world's top voices when discussing the myths and misconceptions of ESG. ESG stands for Environment, Social and Governance. It is ostensibly about how investors reward or punish companies for their performance in these areas (and in so doing help make the world a better place). However, as you will hear from Alison, it really isn't that. And, the fact that it really isn't is a problem for companies, stakeholders, and indeed, the planet. Alison explains what ESG is, better ways to address some of these challenges, transparency and its limits, and much more.

What impact does remote work have on organizational cultures? What causes some corporate responsibility efforts to fall short of meaningful change? And is there a silver bullet to creating a more inclusive workplace culture, effective management, and streamlined operations? Alison Taylor, Executive Director of Ethical Systems at New York University, articulates some of the biggest questions that today's industry leaders should be asking and offers a roadmap for collective and lasting impact. 

Stakeholder capitalism is the idea that businesses have a responsibility to groups other than their shareholders. But is that really capitalism? Why are so many businesses embracing this idea? And, given that stakeholders often have conflicting views, can it work in practice?  Lizzie and Ayesha are joined by Alison Taylor, the director of Ethical Systems at NYU's Stern School of Business, and Richard Oldfield, PwC's global markets leader, to discuss what stakeholder capitalism means for businesses and for society.

What is ESG and why might it lead to poor decision-making?You probably know it's short for Environmental, Social, and Governance; an acronym that covers three topics of interest to investors. In simple terms, three things they look for to determine how environmentally and socially conscious the company is. Or in even simpler terms, is this a good, ethical company?As regular listeners will know, this isn't an investment podcast, so what's the human risk angle here? Well, metrics like ESG are a good example of how we develop systems - in this case metrics that are ways of analysing the way in which companies are run — that allow us to answer complex questions. There's nothing wrong with keeping things simple. Yet, as ESG illustrates, those systems can sometimes over-simplify the world such that we miss things, induce unintended consequences and feel good about ourselves when in fact we really shouldn't.So I wanted to explore what ESG is and the flaws of looking at the world through the artificial lens it creates. My guest on this episode is Alison Taylor. She's the Executive Director of Ethical Systems, part of NYU Stern School of Business, which is a collaboration between leading academics working on behavioural science, systems thinking and organizational psychology. Ethical Systems aim to help companies build more ethical and effective cultures via approaches based on credible research. We are dedicated to driving a more holistic and considered approach to the future of corporate integrity, beyond functional silos. Alison has been on the show before - there's a link to that below — and is always incredibly insightful and great company. In our discussion, we dissect what ESG means — in theory, and in practice — and explore how companies are responding to it. That takes us onto questions such as ‘how are companies responding to social trends like ‘Black Lives Matter', ‘are companies right to insist that people return to the office/work from home' and ‘should companies have a position on every social issue that comes up?'.To find out more about Alison and Ethical Systems visit ww.ethicalsystems.org/You'll find her on Twitter: https://twitter.com/followalisont and LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/followalisont/

Alison Taylor of Ethical Systems and Jason Mudd discuss how to tackle ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) in the corporate communications world. Guest:Alison Taylor is the Executive Director of Ethical Systems, a research collaboration based at NYU Stern School of Business. She is also a professor at Stern and is writing a book for Harvard Business Review Press on how companies can do the right thing in a turbulent world. It will be published in 2023.Five things you'll learn from this episode:What ESG is: a framework for investors to analyze a company's environment, social, and governance risks and opportunitiesHow to start discussing ESG at your workplaceHow the age of hyper-transparency affects business leadersHow companies can do the right thing in a turbulent world How brands can build and sustain trust Quotables“I would certainly advise companies not to try and boil the ocean, not to try and tick the box on 40 or 50 issues, not necessarily to listen to everybody that's yelling at you, but be really, really focused about how you can make money by providing more value to society or having a better environmental impact.” -@AlisonTaylor“Being transparent is pretty difficult because companies aren't really used to saying, ‘This is hard and we haven't got it right.' Companies are used to saying, ‘We've got it under control and we're doing our best and here are all the great things we're doing.' So, I think at the moment, we're in this really problematic situation where transparency is increasing, reputational pressure is increasing, but we don't necessarily have realistic ideas of what a business should and shouldn't be doing. It's really a kind of art form to tell that story well without exaggerating, without lying, without greenwashing, but also not implying that it is a company's job to solve every single social-environmental problem out there.” -@AlisonTaylor“I think both communication and sustainability professionals can end up feeling like Chicken Little, that they're running around the company saying, ‘You got to do this, you've got to do that, the sky is falling in,' and the reality is you need to pick one to three issues where you're going to try and make a difference.” -@AlisonTaylorIf you're enjoying the show, please share it with others and leave us a review!Guest's contact info and resources:Alison on Twitter Alison on LinkedIn Alison's bio and publications on Ethical SystemsAdditional resources:Business for Social Responsibility: resources for understanding ESG and business sustainabilityEthical Systems' monthly newsletterWatch the episode hereSponsored by:On Top of PR is produced by Axia Public Relations, named by Forbes as one of America's Best PR Agencies for 2021.

For decades the 4 principles have formed the cornerstones of medical ethics, but in a global society with new emergent technologies that blur traditional moral boundaries are they still useful or even relevant? Dr. Paul McConnell and Professor Yehuda Ginosar discuss this and whether we have any alternatives.

Tom Fox welcomes Alison Taylor on this episode of the Innovation in Compliance Podcast. Alison is the Executive Director of Ethical Systems, a collaboration between leading academics in behavioral science, systems thinking, and organizational psychology. She joins Tom to talk about ethics and how it relates to ESG, stakeholders, corporate culture, as well as what place Gen Z and Millennials have in this discussion surrounding ethics and compliance in the future. Ethics & ESG The roots of ESG are ethical in themselves. Alison explains to Tom that the basis of ESG is that businesses ought to do good, and do no harm. "ESG really tries to deal with everything that's beyond compliance...that companies should not just not break the law, but they should do stuff about climate change and human rights and that kind of thing," she adds. ESG has a say about what businesses should and shouldn't be doing in society. The problem in recent times is that ESG is more so related to the profit side of business and not what stakeholders care about. When ethics and ESG are treated in relation to the business case, they are treated as metrics and not important corporate social responsibility. Ethics, Stakeholders and Culture Tom asks Alison to explain whether a conversation about ethics can be had across a broader group of stakeholders. "The idea that a company could perfectly reflect the ethics and values of every one of its stakeholders is totally ridiculous," she begins. What leaders should think about instead is the impact they have on their stakeholders. "Rather than talking about what we should and shouldn't do, a conversation could be that companies should manage the negative impacts that they have on their stakeholders and try and enhance the positive ones," Alison remarks. Another important thing for leaders to think about is if their organizations have a culture where employees don't feel safe to bring up ethical issues. The best 'speak-up' program won't be worth anything if your users don't utilize it. A Place for Gen Z and Millennials Tom asks Alison to elaborate on where she sees the roles of Gen Z and Millennials in driving the discussion about ethics in the future. "Younger generations want a meaningful career, and they care much much more whether a business is ethical or unethical," Alison states. If companies want to attract young people, they have to perform ethically and be known for doing so. Younger generations are much more tech-savvy, so if a business is operating unethically, they are going to leak that information via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. This can be detrimental to a companies' public reputation. Shutting down ethical discussions internally is not the way for businesses to go when hiring younger generations. "If you think [that if] you can shut down this conversation, you're gonna shut down internal conflict - what you're actually doing is just pushing this outside and making it way worse," Alison stresses.  Resources Alison Taylor | LinkedIn | Twitter Ethical Systems

With Alison Taylor In this podcast, I explore the emerging relationship between ethics and compliance in an interview with Alison Taylor, the Executive Director at Ethical Systems at New York University (NYU) Stern School of Business. Alison argues that an increased demand for transparency by the consumers and society, the rise of social media, stakeholders' perceptions and expectations, and the need to maintain a ‘good' public image means that sustainable businesses will be required to take an ethical approach to governance and compliance.

Alison Taylor, executive director of NYU-based research collaborative Ethical Systems, returns to the podcast to broaden our understanding of the ethical, moral and conceptual boundaries around ESG, purpose and DEI. Alison makes the case that an organization cannot be everything to everyone, setting out a framework for how companies can prioritize issues to address divergent stakeholder interests. We also discuss the difference between reporting DEI metrics and actually closing the widening racial and gender gaps.  

In this episode of Your Brain at Work, Dr. David Rock, the CEO and Co-founder of the Neuroleadership Institute is joined by two esteemed guests: Jonathan Haidt, a professor at NYU's Stern School of Business and co-author of the best-seller The Coddling of the American Mind, and Alison Taylor, the Executive Director of Ethical Systems. The three shed light on the core divisions in America, how those divisions seep into professional discourse, and most importantly, what we can do to bridge divides. When the trio gets into strategies for bridging the divides we have, it's less about deleting Facebook from your phone and more about what decades of brain science and social science research have taught us about practicing empathy, seeing others, and listening to opposing viewpoints.

Ethical Systems and Us Christian Hayden How do we establish our approach to, and what guides us in, ethical interaction with the world? Join Christian Hayden, Leader in Training, in learning about the different ways we engage in ethical/moral reasoning.

In this episode of the Decision Corner, Brooke speaks with Jonathan Haidt, the Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership at the Stern School of Business NYU, and Alison Taylor, the executive director at Ethical Systems and an adjunct professor at NYU. In today's episode, they discuss the role of ethics and values in business, including the challenges associated with Generation Z, and the workplace culture changes that have been fuelled by the evolution of social media and increasing polarization in countries like the United States. They talk about the challenge of hearing from all members of the workforce, and not just the most polarized who are shouting the loudest. If you're curious about whether businesses should remain politically neutral, have an interest in business ethics and the changing landscape of modern corporate leadership, this episode is for you! Some of the topics discussed include: The challenges that come with leading a multi-generational and politically motivated workforce. Should businesses take a stance on social issues? Is neutrality a viable position? Business ethics as a way of conducting business, as opposed to being a safeguard against legal action or public outcry. Fostering a safe culture where employees feel comfortable expressing their opinions without fear of backlash from the public, or their co-workers. The role of behavioral science in business - beyond the marketing department.

Post By: Adam Turteltaub The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) movement has been around for a long time, but over the last year it has hit a tipping point. In fact, according to Roy Snell, former SCCE & HCCA CEO and now advisor to Osprey ESG Software, it has hit several tipping points. In this podcast he and Alison Taylor, Executive Director of Ethical Systems, outline how strong the ESG movement has become and how important it is for compliance professionals to embrace it. They will also be addressing this topic at the SCCE ESG and Compliance Conference on June 17, 2021. As they share here, recently the EU announced it was looking to create regulations monitoring the truthfulness of ESG claims, particularly for investment firms. The US Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) has set up an enforcement working group of its own. Standards bodies are emerging and setting some very high bars, and many organizations have committed to various ESG goals. One of the difficulties of ESG is that there is a mix, Alison notes, of hard and soft obligations. In the area of modern slavery, for example, many countries already have requirements in place for, at a minimum, reporting what the company is doing to managing the risk. And in environmental arena there are already a host of laws and regulations. But, in many other areas that fall under ESG there are not yet laws. Nevertheless, a corporate commitment should be taken just as seriously and with great rigor. In sum, ESG has come of age, and with it has come the risk that organizations will start fudging the numbers to meet their proclaimed and required ESG goals. That leads to an opportunity and need for compliance teams to get involved. As in other areas, compliance should not necessarily be directly involved in the initiatives since it can create a conflict of interest. Instead, they advise, compliance should, as it traditionally has, ensure the integrity of the organization’s work by creating control processes and procedures and investigating claims of potential wrongdoing. For the compliance team to be effective they recommend working with related units in the organization: ESG, corporate social responsibility, sustainability and investor relations. Increasingly investors are demanding that organizations report on their ESG efforts, and that has caught the attention of leadership and the board. Listen in to learn more, and then join us at the SCCE ESG and Compliance Conference.

How do we decide what is right? What ideas and systems guide how we respond to life challenges and questions? Christian will share experiences that informed his approach to ethics and make a case why we should all expand our ethical literacy.

Today's episode is a bit different than some of the more recent episodes. We start off discussing ethical systems and comparing consequentialist and deontological systems, …
