Ethics in business is no longer a "nice to have — it's non-negotiable. In this episode of Be It Resolved, host Rahul Bhardwaj sits down with José Hernandez, Founder and CEO of Ortus Strategies, to break down why ethical leadership is not just about doing the right thing, but about safeguarding long-term value, brand integrity, and organizational resilience.
From the pressures of geopolitical tensions and trade tariffs to the temptation of short-term gains, leaders are increasingly at risk of cutting corners. José explains why boards must go beyond aspirations and embed ethics into strategy, processes, and culture, because without a clear ethical compass, even individuals with good intentions may still make unethical decisions.
We explore how boards can set the tone from the top, implement meaningful oversight, and build systems that reinforce trust, especially when operating across diverse cultural landscapes. Learn why ethics is not only the last line of defence, but a powerful driver of stakeholder trust and brand value.
Be it resolved: Ethical decisions are the last line of corporate defence—when the pressure is on, which
way will YOU vote?
