This CLE program provides a comprehensive look at the current state of corporate codes of conduct within multinational enterprises, highlighting how evolving legal standards, workforce expectations, and emerging technologies are influencing their design and effectiveness. The discussion will differentiate between enterprise-wide ethics codes, internal employee policies, and third-party or supply chain standards, emphasizing the unique role each plays in a company’s compliance framework.

The program will further focus on practical approaches to evaluating and modernizing these documents to ensure they reflect contemporary risks and organizational priorities. In addition, it will address strategic considerations in developing global supply chain codes of conduct, with an emphasis on alignment, enforceability, and integration across jurisdictions. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to structure and update these policies to meet the demands of a rapidly changing global environment.
