Why do I consider the activity in the Advisory board of the SCC to be meaningfull? 

“The fact that the Compliance system or the ethical program of the organization does not penetrate into all areas of the organization’s activity, but remains an isolated island, I see as a great risk for our profession. When I turn it around, I see the integration of ethical principles into all processes and levels of management as a great opportunity to help our companies do business in the market for the long term and sustainably. That is why I am glad that in the Advisory board we have a group of experts from various areas of the professional and academic spheres. We can thus use their expertise and diversity of views to help companies in Slovakia develop the Compliance topic in a way that will be effective and sustainable for them and at the same time meet the expectations and needs of their external interest groups: customers, supervisory authorities and civil society.”

The motto of the SCC fully describes the reasons for which we seek to develop and train our students, the prospective managers, in business ethics at the Faculty of Management, Comenius University in Bratislava. I am fully convinced that both the promotion of the principles of business ethics and the creation of a transparent business environment are absolutely necessary for a sustainable future of our society.”
