The financial services industry has a proud history of service and innovation for over more than two centuries, but the financial crisis taught many harsh lessons, including the reality that reputations built over several generations can be destroyed in a few moments. Of direct relevance to this is the way in which banking organisations conduct themselves, and how they are perceived by their stakeholders.
This programme considers the ethical dimensions of banking, starting with an exploration of the fundamental principles which underpin ethical behaviour. The programme looks at what is expected of bankers, including the duties they owe to others and society as well as the importance of reconciling the many needs of different stakeholder groups. The programme also considers the vital role of leaders in the banking industry, both in the steps that are necessary to establish an appropriate culture through which reputation can be enhanced and maintained, as well as how a positive ethical stance may be harnessed to support corporate strategy.
