It is good to see that the CII – Ethisphere BELA South Asia Chapter is continuing to take up notable initiatives through events and thought leadership to take forward the intended objectives of enhancing corporate ethical standards."

"As a Founding Member of the BELA South Asia Chapter since 2017, we believe that it is through these resources that we can collectively reach our goal of advancing transparency and integrity across the ecosystem. With most of our colleagues working from home, we remain focused on mitigating risks arising due to the lack of privacy and cybersecurity measures and awareness,” said Nikunj Savaliya, LPC India Lead – Compliance & Corporate Governance at Bayer. “We strongly believe in targeting our efforts towards ensuring behavior where compliance is not just another requirement but is rather practiced in day-to-day actions. It is through this type of knowledge-sharing that we can help make a difference and set the gold standard for ethics and principled business practices."

"The current global situation, particularly in the light of new operating models such as remote working, poses similar risks to organizations in India and abroad, and companies should consider retooling and re-evaluating their compliance policies, especially their anti-bribery and corruption compliance programs,” said Piya Haldar, Director of Integrity and Compliance, Honeywell India. “These are the types of messages we share as part of the BELA South Asia Chapter. It is vital for international businesses to understand that the eyes of the world will be upon us as the ‘new normal’ evolves, including regulators who will be monitoring who did the right things and who didn’t measure up."

"The world today is witnessing unprecedented circumstances making safety and survival of paramount importance,” said Soni, Chief Ethics Counsellor, TATA Steel. “We were pleased to share our expertise and our values with the BELA South Asia community. At Tata Steel, we firmly believe that an organization must demonstrate values and purpose as a corporation by standing firm on its guiding principles during the most challenging times. It deeply defines the character of an organization."
