Life With GDPR: Karen Moore on The EU, Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive

Tom Fox and Jonathan Armstrong, renowned expert in cyber security, co-host the award-winning Life with GDPR. Jonathan is on a short hiatus and in this episode, we have a special guest, Karen Moore who discusses the EU’s Corporate Sustainability-Due Diligence Directive.

Karen Moore is a well-versed professional in the area of impact assessments and due diligence, with a particular focus on human rights and environmental issues to prevent and address potential harm. Her perspective, shaped by her extensive experience, is that impact assessments and due diligence are key indicators of a corporation’s commitment to preserving the environment and upholding human rights.

Moore emphasizes the importance of these processes not only within a company’s own activities, but also within those of its suppliers and indirect suppliers. She stresses the need for a robust due diligence process, including tracking progress, publishing annual statements, implementing complaints procedures, and involving all employees.

Additionally, she highlights the challenges of managing these processes, such as complex questionnaires for third-party suppliers and the need for streamlined assessments. She believes in a proactive approach to corporate responsibility, going beyond regulatory requirements to foster sustainable practices and ethical decision-making.

 Key Takeaways:

  • Ethical and Sustainable Business Practices Compliance Guidelines
  • Ethical Evaluation for Data Privacy Compliance in the US
  • Ethical Data Handling for GDPR Compliance
  • Ethical Business Practices in Supply Chains

FCPA Compliance Report

FCPA Compliance Report – Albemarle FCPA Enforcement Action – Internal Controls

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. Today, we begin a short podcast series on the Albemarle FCPA enforcement action. Today, we have Karen Moore on the internal controls failures and other areas identified in the SEC enforcement action.

The recent FCPA enforcement action against Albemarle has sparked a lively debate in the compliance community, particularly regarding the company’s internal controls, imposed penalties, and the lack of monitorship. While Karen is surprised at this development, Tom believes it is consistent with the new DOJ FCPA policy.

One of the key takeaways from the episode is the importance of thorough due diligence and stronger measures to prevent corruption. The case highlights the need for compliance officers to operate beyond their comfort zones and ensure that the right people receive the right training to spot issues. It also raises questions about the credibility of messages about risk tolerance from senior leadership and the effectiveness of deal reviews. Join us as we dive deeply into these issues in this FCPA Compliance Report podcast episode.

 Key Highlights:

  • Albemarle’s Penalties
  • Identifying Red Flags in Due Diligence
  • Including Monitors in Plea Deals for Compliance

Karen Moore: Slide Door Moments to a Career in Compliance


Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
Karen Moore came highly recommended to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, including by one of her very own team members.  There’s not much better a signal than that that someone is a strong and well respected leader.
In this episode Karen and Mary talk about what brought Karen such a great degree of success in her career, including the seemingly inconsequential decision she made in high school to accessorize herself to look cool which led to the international adventures in Compliance Karen has had.  The conversation canvasses an array of subjects from there including Karen’s learnings as an adjunct professor, speculation about the future of data privacy/protection law in the United States (yes, we’re doing futurist predictions today), and a lesson learned the hard way.
