Portland, Oreg.-based EthicsPoint, a provider of hotline and anti-fraud reporting services, recently announced plans to fund and support research, education, and collaborative programs at the University of Arizona, creating the University of Arizona Foundation.
“The economic downturn has underscored that poor ethical leadership can have a negative impact on not only a company’s reputation, but also the bottom line,” said David Childers EthisPoint CEO. He added, “EthicsPoint and The University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management share a common view that business ethics must transition from the philosophical to the practical. EthicsPoint makes this donation with the dual goals of helping prepare the next generation of business leaders and of advancing research to better understand the dynamics behind behavioral ethics in business.”
