Tobin College Center for Global Business Stewardship solicits proposals for IVBEC 2018

Proposals are now being accepted for the 25th Anniversary International Vincentian Business Ethics Conference (IVBEC 2018) on Oct. 25-27 in New York City.

Hosted by the Center for Global Business Stewardship, IVBEC 2018’s theme is "People, Planet, Progress: Business Ethics for a Global Society."

The 25th anniversary of IVBEC is a great opportunity to take stock of our progress for guidance, and to look to the future for innovative solutions to business and society’s most pressing ethical dilemmas. We encourage proposals from academics, business professionals and young scholars that relate to the role that ethical business plays in the implementation and integration of the SDGs in the organizational ethos, and that move us toward a better understanding of targets, measurement and ethical adjustment in our policies and processes.

As we race toward a 2030 deadline to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we focus the theme of the conference on how progress and prosperity in business are achieved in the context of a sustainable future for the planet and all who inhabit it. With research, practice, and educators attending to the responsible management of business, the conference will feature work that highlights the progress made in achieving global development goals and the challenges that remain in institutionalizing them.

Abstract proposals are due by April 1, 2018. Complete submission details are available here.
