International Ethics Policies in Employment: The Benefits of Being a Responsible Corporate Citizen

Labor and employment partner Erika Collins and associate Caroline Guensberg coauthored an article for the New York Law Journal that discusses multi-national companies’ policies in an increasingly globalized world.

Collins and Guensberg explain that while international ethics policies are easier to implement globally due to being more general and aspirational in nature, drafting and implementing such policies is not without its challenges, and they answer the following questions:

• Why adopt international ethics policies?
• What topics should international ethics policies cover?
• How do international employment ethics interact with local law?
• How should international ethics policies be implemented and enforced?
