Serving Higher Education, Business and Society 

The Chinese have a saying, "Small sparks start big fires."  And in late 1992 a gathering of Atlanta business people ignited what has become a global center where businesses and other institutions work together to promote ethics in business and professional life. The Center for Ethics and Corporate Responsibility was founded on the principle that leaders are more successful when they learn from each other – and that this is never more true than in meeting the ethical challenges of managing organizations in today's world.

The Center for Ethics and Corporate Responsibility is an integral part of The J. Mack Robinson College of Business, providing a wide range of educational programs and services to practitioners, while enriching the learning of students through a variety of curricular and co-curricular offerings.

Through its national and international programming, The Center has inspired and educated thousands of individuals through customized seminars, presentations and workshops for governmental organizations, educational institutions, businesses, trade associations, religious institutions and non-profit organizations. These innovative programs enhance awareness and understanding of ethical issues, values and responsibilities, and show how they relate to organizational success. 

The Center's membership comprises dozens of leading corporations, professional firms, small businesses and individuals from all walks of life. They benefit from ethics forums and seminars for business leaders; customized workshops for professional, trade and civic organizations; and a biennial survey of CEOs. The Center also serves business and governmental organizations with specialized training services.

Driven by our vision of businesses, government agencies and other essential institutions dedicated to the highest ethical ideals, The Center for Ethics and Corporate Responsibility works to provide an ever-expanding range of services, regionally, nationally and internationally. In virtually all sectors of global society – business, government, education and religion – ethics has come to the fore as a matter of unprecedented concern in the new century. The Center is meeting this need with an innovative approach that brings the best research and academic expertise together with the hard-earned experience of practitioners.  We invite you to join us in this work.

Sincerely,

John C. Knapp, Ph.D.
