Marjorie Kelly – Leading American Advocate of Business Ethics to speak in Belfast
Sustainable NI is pleased to announce that Marjorie Kelly the co-founder and editor of Business Ethics will be speaking in Belfast on Novemeber 4 2003. This Sustainable NI hosted lecture at Belfast’s historic Linenhall Library, is open to all but will be of special interest to development and community workers, social and environmental activists, students, media professionals and anyone concerned with contemporary global issues.
Business Ethics, co-founded and edited by Kelly is a national US publication on corporate social responsibility launched in 1987 and is read by high-level opinion leaders in business, academia, social investing, and the non-governmental organisation community. For a decade and a half, Business Ethics has been the core publication of the movement to bring greater responsibility into business. Read by those both inside and outside business, the publication serves as a kind of meeting ground for all parties looking to make business more humane and accountable.
She is also the author of the book 'The Divine Right of Capital: Dethroning the Corporate Aristocracy', published 2001 by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. The book explores why socially responsible practices have failed to take hold and identifies the problem as the mandate to maximise returns for shareholders, which is an aristocratic mandate to serve the interests of wealth-holders above all other interests. The book offers many ideas on how to move toward economic democracy.
Marjorie is a regular speaker and commentator on business ethics, and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, quoted in the New York Times, and interviewed on National Public Radio. She has lectured at the society for Business Ethics Conference, the Association of Internal Auditors, Ohio University, Smith College, and many other organisations. A business person as well as a journalist, Marjorie is from a strongly entrepreneurial family. Her father founded Graphic Engraving Inc. in Columbia, Missouri and her grandfather founded Anderson Tool and Die in Chicago.
This lecture promises to provide a stimulating and valuable insight into the world of corporate social responsibility and business ethics from a leading commentator in this field.
