Roundtable: Is Your Global Compliance What It Should Be?

www.metrocorpcounsel.com

The FMC Legal Team helps maintain and align the ethical compass of the company and, in doing so, protects and promotes our values which are among our most important assets. We are merely one part of what must be a holistic, enterprise-wide approach. Setting, communicating and reinforcing the "tone at the top" view on ethical behavior and appropriate business conduct appropriately are probably the most important issues.

Cultural sensitivity is critical for those of us that operate within a large multinational organization. While there is usually broad agreement on "doing the right thing," there is often a lack of clarity around what precisely that means in diverse contexts and cultures. We must take care to avoid overly legalistic or nationalist precepts and instead focus on the basic values those precepts and our company's culture reflects. Perhaps most important, the legal team cannot in and of itself ensure global compliance - but we can and should act as a guide to help our businesses exercise judgment, assess impacts and consider the effects of their actions.
