Ethics & Business

To learn more about our programs on business ethics, go to Global Business Ethics.
Professional Development
It may surprise you to learn that a global non-profit organization that is dedicated to the advancement of business ethics is also committed to helping its members earn a higher income. Yet, history shows that businesses who operate under a code of strong ethics tend to build solid reputations with their clients, attract the most talented employees, and weather downturns in the economy much better.
Rewarding Good Judgment
We believe ethical business practices ought to be rewarded. iBEDI provides programs and services for its members to help them increase their earnings without sacrificing their reputations. Go to Proffesional Development to learn more.
How We are Different
The United Nations is dedicated to facilitating cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights, and achievement of world peace. The World Bank is an international financial institution that provides loans to developing countries for capital programs, while the IMF's goal is to stabilize exchange rates and assist the reconstruction of the world's international payment system. iBEDI focuses on nations that do not currently exhibit significant problems with global security; that do not require international financial assistance; and do not dispaly problems with their capital programs.
