At this conference, business ethicists are invited to consider practices, issues and problems which are not normally considered business ethics, but are nevertheless concerned with ethics in business.

Is the United Nations Global Compact an act of business ethics itself, insofar as it proposes to call businesses to account for their ethics? Can we speak of social criticism as business ethics?

At this conference, business ethicists are invited to consider practices, issues and problems which are not normally considered business ethics, but are nevertheless concerned with ethics in business. If we can find ethics in shareholder and consumer activism, then how far should be go in considering other activisms as ethics? Should we then qualify various social activisms, new social movements, and developments such as blogging and the World Social Forum as acts of business ethics? Is the United Nations Global Compact an act of business ethics itself, insofar as it proposes to call businesses to account for their ethics? Can we speak of social criticism as business ethics?
