It is a leadership issue and the chief executive must set the example.
-Edward Hennessy (1933)
To promote ethical leadership for sustainable business growth.
To achieve our vision, our daily mission is to impart a culture of responsibility, accountability and respect amongst organizational stakeholders to enable them to build profitable and sustainable brands that are trusted by many customers.
Our core values include respect, compliance, transparency, trust and profitability as outlined below:
Borrowing from the holy bible scriptures; “my people perish for lack of knowledge”; at EIZ we believe in the continuous improvement of the conduct of humanity through a needs aligned training and development program.
In our pursuit of best business practices we believe in a corporate culture that recognizes its stakeholders’ values and admires their worthy abilities, qualities and achievements.
Corporate systems, procedures and business legislature become effective business tools only through stakeholder compliance. At EIZ, we value corporate compliance as a sustainable business growth enabler, hence our tagline – fearlessly ethical.
At EIZ, we thrive on honesty and openness in our everyday business conduct. This value is clearly captured by the famous Dalai Lama in his famous quote “A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.”
Because stakeholder trust builds workmanship and reliability; it also builds profitable brands. It is our primary objective to promote trust amongst our corporate stakeholders through effective business ethics interventions.
It is every business’ objective to yield a benefit or financial gain. Through our culture defining ethics initiatives, we are committed to building profitable organizations for economic and societal gain.
As we analyze practical ethical blunders and address hidden corporate misalignments through training and development, we empower organizations and their employees to engage in ethical dialoguing as part of their everyday business conduct. This will inspire increased corporate productivity through trust, responsibility and accountability.
To align to our values of knowledge promotion, we strongly subscribe to the provision of accurate and independent information on ethical standards and practices in the workplace through our research arm with exposure to both private and public institutions and a global pool of expertise in this area.
Oftentimes you are found in an ethical dilemma or poor work ethic that may cost you millions in potential business lost; quality employees to be lost; legal penalties to be incurred and a lifetime reputation to be tarnished. As a practicing institution in the area of ethics, we offer advisory services to you to minimize the impact of your ethical dilemmas on your business.
