Principled Podcast: S11E7 | Fortifying Ethical Frameworks: Navigating Emerging Risks in the Middle East

Amid the escalating severity and frequency of new risks worldwide, Ethics and Compliance (E&C) initiatives are doubling down on efforts to mitigate these risks. This critical focus is underscored in LRN’s latest 2024 Ethics & Compliance Program Effectiveness Report, which draws insights from over 1,400 E&C professionals globally. Our findings reveal that values-driven programs not only prove most effective but also exhibit a robust correlation with risk reduction and enhanced business outcomes. In light of this evolving risk landscape, how are E&C programs in regions such as the Middle East adapting? Furthermore, what do the everyday practices of global best standards entail for programs operating within this region?

In this episode of the Principled Podcast, host Eric Morehead is joined by Elvis Angyiembe, the co-founder of the Middle East and Africa Compliance Association (MEACA). Elvis joined us last season to discuss the E&C priorities of companies in the Middle East. Today, they discuss key findings from the global edition of the 2024 Ethics & Compliance Program Effectiveness Report and how they apply to programs in that region.

Season 10 Episode 3 – Transparency and Disclosure: Unpacking the “E” of ESG Reporting

What you’ll learn on this podcast episode

Environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, has been in the news a lot lately—particularly the “E” when it comes to new and evolving regulations. There’s been a greater push in the United States for transparency and disclosure of data regarding businesses’ environmental impact, driven largely by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Advertising Division of the Better Business Bureau. In fact, California is expected to soon be the first US state to require company reporting related to environmental impact. So, what does this all mean for companies that are working to become more sustainable? How do you even begin to report on emissions and environmental impact? In this episode of LRN’s Principled Podcast host Eric Morehead explores how transparency plays a crucial role in corporate sustainability with Andrea Peters, the senior counsel of Interface.

S9 E7 – What are FAR Requirements? Reviewing Federal Acquisition Regulation Compliance

What you’ll learn on this podcast episode

The Federal Acquisition Regulation, or FAR, is the primary guidance followed by federal agencies—including NASA, the Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and all others when acquiring goods and services. It’s also a regulation with its own set of compliance requirements for government contractors. How does FAR differ from other regulatory guidance, and what do government contractors need to know to ensure they have an effective program in place? On the Principled Podcast, host Jen Üner talks with LRN colleague Eric Morehead about why the FAR compliance program requirements matter to broader E&C program effectiveness, and how government contractors can implement those requirements in practical ways.
