May 4, 2012
Last 4 May 2012, Dr. Aliza Racelis, holder of the Annabelle Brown Centennial Professorial Chair, presented her paper entitled "Ethics and Governance Issues in Sustainability in Asia: Literature Review and Research Proposals" at the College of Business Administration, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Q.C.
In her paper, Dr. Racelis sought to present the ethical and governance aspects found in sustainable development efforts in Asia, with special focus on the Philippines where literature permitted. Sustainability, defined as encompassing ecosystem health, human needs, economic development, social justice, common good, and human dignity, involves a number of ethical and governance issues, which the research paper groups into five: (1) Corporate and state governance, and the rule of law; (2) Ethics and morality, (3) Genuine poverty alleviation, (4) Collaborative efforts, and (5) Training and education. The paper ends with specific research proposals in these 5 aspects.
