Develop academic programming and activities that prepare current students to advance ethics in the workplace;

Support students from the McGill Desautels Faculty of Management and from other faculties in their research collaborations with a wide network of educational and business institutions;

Promote excellence in research in support of a multi-disciplinary approach to business ethics research;
