TESTIMONIAL(S)

“When innovation outpaces the law, ethics becomes a key frame of reference. The certification offered at the Executive Education allows leaders to identify and resolve ethical dilemmas, which is a condition for building trust. Although trust is the currency of ethics, everyone knows it cannot be bought; it is earned by making the right choices and adopting good behaviour.”

- Emmanuel Lulin – Former Chief Ethics Officer, L’Oréal

“The certification met my expectations in multiple regards, particularly in how it combined theory and practice, as well as the overall pacing. Divided into four modules and offered two days a month, the formula helped me strike a balance between the coursework and my job, and gradually integrate what I learned into my day-to-day professional life.”

- Paul Robert, directeur principal, Affaires juridiques et Ressources humaines, et secrétaire corporatif, Ponts Jacques Cartier et Champlain Incorporée

“This certification program is unparalleled in terms of the quality of its content and its outstanding instructors. It is also a unique opportunity to share ideas with other highly qualified professionals who are just as passionate about this subject matter. Not only did I acquire the concepts and tools I needed to understand and utilize the principles of ethics and compliance in my work, but I also became more familiar with critical considerations for keeping our organization running smoothly and maintaining healthy relationships with key stakeholders.”

- Roseline Roy, CEC, Governance and Ethics Advisor, Sollio Cooperative Group

“I really enjoyed how the program was structured and the many different topics that were addressed. It all fit nicely together, with the specific goal of helping us internalize best practices in ethics and compliance. I left feeling better equipped to take action. The instructors were excellent and very generous in sharing their knowledge and insights throughout the program. And as an added bonus, I managed to broaden my network of professional contacts.”

- Vanessa Del Signore, CEC, gestionnaire principale - ressources humaines, Commission de la construction du Québec
