GEODIS in Americas announced it has joined Ethisphere’s Business Ethics Leadership Alliance (BELA) to bolster its current commitment to maintaining an industry-leading standard of corporate integrity in today’s business ecosystem. BELA is a globally recognized organization featuring more than 375 members from leading companies who collaborate together to share best practices in governance, risk management, compliance, and ethics.
On the reports that were gathered at the scene, Marjorie Rossell Ortega, Ethics and Compliance Senior Director for the Americas Region at GEODIS said “At GEODIS, we have a longstanding
commitment to ethical leadership and corporate integrity through a comprehensive program implemented across all lines of business with the goal of creating a better tomorrow for our teammates, clients, and world. By joining BELA, we will have the opportunity to take specific aspects of our existing program to the next level as we benefit from an environment of shared collaboration, learning, and growth alongside other experts in the fields of ethics and compliance.”
It was said that members will receive enterprise-wide access to the BELA Member hub, a premier repository of resources featuring examples of work, presentations, and research from selected BELA companies, that is intended to cultivate more idea exchange and inspiration for companies to continuously improve in the area of ethics and compliance. BELA members also have the ability to benchmark their ethics and compliance program and practices to those of the World’s Most Ethical Companies and participate in year-round opportunities to network and share best practices at roundtables, webinars, and in-person and virtual events.
Kevin McCormack, Executive Vice President and Executive Director for BELA said “The accelerated growth of BELA sends a strong message to the business community that there is a deep need for data, shared insights and collective intelligence that can support a diverse set of leaders charged with implementing effective integrity programs. BELA aligns so well with these pursuits that it often becomes part of the working culture.”
The 375+ BELA member companies represent over 60 industries headquartered in 15 different countries. It has become a pivotal platform of connected leadership dedicated to progressing company standards and practices across global and regional business ecosystems. BELA members collaborate to define best practices on a range of topics of importance to ethics and compliance leaders from environmental, social, and governance (ESG) to data analytics, equity, behavioral science in training, and other issues in working groups and at the Global Ethics Summit, the ESG Forum and additional events in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and other
regions around the world.
