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.
