EBEN, or the European Business Ethics Network, is a cross-national, non-profit network, active in 20 countries, dedicated to the promotion and support of integrity and responsibility in leadership and management, not only in business but also in academia, the public sector and across civil society.
EBEN Ireland was established in 2011, when it hosted the annual EBEN Research Conference which we entitled Does Integrity Matter?, featuring 80 speakers from over 30 countries and four continents.
The conference proceedings addressed topics of trust, integrity, reputation, ethics, governance, reputation, leadership, financial services, compliance, risk, fraud, crime, corruption, whistleblower protection and social responsibility – all key issues in line with EBENI’s ambitions, including fostering a culture of integrity and trust in business in Ireland and promoting the benefits arising from all aspects of good practice and behaving with integrity across all areas of society.
EBEN Ireland established a website www.eben.ie in 2011, with over 100 pages and varied content, with the most popular section being advice on decision making in dilemma situations.
EBENI are looking for a number of talented and dedicated people to serve on a voluntary basis as Director and Charity Trustee and/or as a Committee member.
Meetings may be held in Dublin, but people are welcome to apply from anywhere in Ireland and from a variety of backgrounds including, but not limited to, academia & education, industry, public sector, financial services, regulation, technology, human resources, arts & culture, non-profit, marketing, public relations, event management, agriculture, health, tourism, journalism & publishing, religious, research, sport and the professions, et al, both active and retired, from multinationals and larger Irish entities to self employed and sole practitioners, with a common interest in integrity in business and across society.
Applications please via email to ebenirl@gmail.com or Boardmatch.
In essence, we are looking for both experienced and youthful team-players keen to guide EBEN Ireland as an entity to be the most effective it can be, in line with these stated ten goals and others, while maybe even “making a difference” as, along with our European colleagues, we seek to achieve EBEN's Mission “to promote ethics and excellence in businesses, to increase awareness about ethical challenges in the global marketplace and to enable dialogue on the role of business in society”.
