Creating a Culture of Ethical Business Practices
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Corruption is a toxic social disease that destroys governments, cripples economic development, oppresses freedom, creates injustice, and fuels civil unrest. More than 6 billion people live in countries riddled with corruption.
The effects of corruption devastate not only a country's economic development, but also traps its citizens in a continuous cycle of poverty, poor education systems, child mortality, environmental destruction and terrorism.1 The perils of corruption are not only debilitating towards a country's GDP, but it robs citizens of the ability to live a prosperous life. According to the 2015 Corruptions Perceptions Index, 114 countries out of 168 ranked 50 or lower out of 100 on a scale that indicates the perceived level of corruption. Lower the score, the greater the perception of corruption in the country or territory. IEJL's mission is to abate this corruption.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Develop a Program of Informal Education to Enculturate Millennials into a System of Ethical Commerce
Ethical behaviors are cultural. They cannot be taught in a classroom. Our goal is to develop a subculture which does not interfere with a country's or region's indigenous culture.
The objective of this program is to develop a system which offers continued, culture building content which is both interesting to the target group and addictive.
Job Site - Matching Ethical Companies with Ethical Employees
The IEJL Job Site has a mission to match IEJL Pledges (employees) to those companies who prioritize the hiring of ethics conscience employees.
IEJL Pledges, who participate in our Pledge Ethics Awards program, earn points for participation and completion of various ethics-based education and social programs. Pledges are then ranked based on the number of points earned.
Under this program, employers have an additional metric to evaluate and consider in their hiring decision. An employer seeking to increase ethical awareness in their company will want to employ candidates who demonstrate a commitment to ethical commerce.
Pledge Awards Program
The mission of IEJL is to create a culture of ethical commerce in our future leaders. IEJL uses a combination of formal and informal education, including social interaction, to create this culture.
The future leaders who join IEJL are called "Pledges" due to the requirement they sign a pledge of ethical behavior. As the Pledges participate in our activities, they earn points for various activities. The points expire in 18 months.
Points are awarded for activities which include, but are not limited to: 1) Volunteering with IEJL; 2) Passing short tests based on written materials, videos, and audio presentations; 3) Reading and sharing posts created by IEJL of ethical topics; and 4) Attending chapter events.
Pledges accumulate the points to reach certain award levels. These levels are Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Additional awards are given based on level of participation, performance and contribution to the mission.
Pledges distinguish themselves by the level of award they attain. For example, Pledges seeking employment via our Job Site program, will distinguish themselves from other candidates by their award level. Pledges will have access to discount travel and educational opportunities based on their award level.
