New York, July 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The ninth annual Global Ethics Day, an initiative of Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, will be celebrated on October 19, 2022. The theme is “Ethics Empowered.”
In an increasingly polarized world, ethics can be used to improve our daily lives, strengthen communities, and address some of society’s most pressing challenges such as climate change, the global refugee crisis, attacks on democracy, inequality, and more.
On #GlobalEthicsDay, Carnegie Council invites citizens, businesses, professional organizations, schools, governments, and nonprofits from across the world to demonstrate their commitment to using ethics as a force for good. Activities may include debates, panels, social media campaigns, exhibits, videos, pop-up events, and so much more.
In 2021, more than 170 organizations and institutions in 45 countries participated in the international day of ethical action. Last year’s Global Ethics Day highlights include:
- Real estate company Jones Lang LaSalle engaging over 2,000 employees in ethics-related activations, including town hall discussions held by local offices;
- Global nonprofit The Nature Conservancy taking to social media to discuss the importance of ethics using #GlobalEthicsDay;
- PepsiCo releasing a series of #GlobalEthicsDay videos featuring its executives discussing the importance of ethical standards across the consumer packaged goods (CPG)…
