Business Ethics Leadership Alliance

It’s time to make your business ethics count. Public perception of business, executives and corporate ethics is at an all-time low. A higher standard of business ethics is expected.

The goals of the Business Ethics Leadership Alliance (BELA) are:
(1) to publicly affirm commitment to certain ethical principles and compliance practices;
(2) to provide public resources for BELA members to uphold their commitment and other companies to follow our lead.

With more than 50 corporate members representing nearly $1.5 trillion in global commerce, including McDonald’s, PepsiCo, Walmart, General Electric and more, BELA is a forum for global leaders to discuss, establish and promote best practices in corporate compliance and ethics and advance the cause of ethics and compliance to corporate executives, stakeholders and consumers. BELA has been featured by Reuters, FOX News, Corporate Secretary, Metropolitan Corporate Counsel, Financial Times and more.
