Spotlight on: Building Growth Through Compliance and Ethics

I believe that a long-term business strategy and sustainable growth should work hand-in hand with a consistent compliance mindset translated into an effective, robust compliance program (legal and regulatory framework, ethics). Compliance starts with the tone from the top, but this is not enough.

Organisations must make sure that compliance is embraced by the team members and its goal is truly understood by everyone. A consistent compliance program is also about understanding that a compliant and an ethical business approach are more likely to bring sustainable growth on a long term, while increase the employee sense of belonging. A healthy organisational culture represents an imperative for today’s economic well-being of a company and a key objective of the legal and compliance function. This is not something in one’s hands. This is a cross-functional “game” that brings together other organisational functions and stakeholders.
