Founded in 1985, The Institute for Business & Professional Ethics (IBPE) was established as a joint effort of the Colleges of Liberal Arts & Sciences, and Commerce at DePaul University.
The mission of the Institute is to facilitate ethical deliberation by stirring the moral conscience and by developing models for ethical decision-making in business and the professions, particularly aimed at:
- Students: Teaching students ethical practices and inspiring them to engage in social justice initiatives;
- Business: Advancing ethical practices in business organizations in the Chicago area; and
- Community: Catalyzing the for-profit sector to address poverty through active engagement, both locally and globally.
The IBPE corordinates a number of programs annually that include the Vincentian Colleges International Conference on Business Ethics, and workshops for faculty and students. The Institute also is charged with auditing the status of the business ethics curriculum at the university, and benchmarking the status of compliance programs and their implementation in the corporate environment.
