Institute for Business & Professional Ethics

Chicago

Local insights, global ethics

Founded in 1985, the Institute for Business & Professional Ethics (IBPE) was established as a joint effort of the College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences and Driehaus College of Business at DePaul University.

The purpose of the IBPE is to encourage ethical deliberation in decision-makers by stirring their moral conscience, encouraging moral imagination, and stimulating research into business innovation and practices. IBPE programming serves as a forum for exploring and fostering ethical practices by the business community as well as for DePaul students and faculty.​
