Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley. Like Compliance, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an area which has had an increasing spotlight over the past few years.  As a result, both of these functions have evolved and are more aligned in the past.  In this episode, Lisa Fine visits with Alison Taylor. One of the trailblazers in this area is Alison Taylor, who is the Executive Director of Ethical Systems,  a Senior Advisor at BSR and an adjunct professor at NYU Stern School of Business.
Alison joins Lisa Fine on Great Women in Compliance to discuss CSR and Compliance, how they intersect, and where there may be tensions between them.  They discuss how ethics and ethical behavior are the underpinnings of both areas and how this becomes even more important in times like now, with COVID-19.
Alison has worked all over the world and discusses her experiences as a woman in some of her roles, including what she wishes she knew when she started out.
This episode was released the week prior to Compliance Week, where Lisa is on a panel that Alison is moderating called Week. “The CCO & CSR: The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Compliance Programs.”  Compliance Week has been a great supporter of women in compliance (as well as the podcast), and now they have introduced us to another #GWIC.
