About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

Is it all hot air ?

An article in Institutional Investor comments a Mercer Investment Consulting study that shows that the US lags behind Europe and Asia in SRI. Apparently, they found that of the 195 managers questioned, 28% of those from Asia, 44% of those from Australia and 42 % of those from Europe felt that social and economic performance indicators will be mainstream in 5 years compared to only 11% of the US investment managers.
