The Symposium

The International Business & Leadership Symposium is an annual event that brings together business, political, academic and spiritual leaders to dialogue on new leadership styles that are sustainable and ensure profitability for businesses. It provides a platform for leading minds to share their experiences and expertise on the value of an ethics-based approach to deal with today's challenges in the global markets. It also examines the impact of this approach on the bottom line.

This is the 5th Conference on Ethics in Business – Corporate Culture & Spirituality, and the 3rd to be held in the European Parliament. The Conference is part of the International Business & Leadership Symposium and is an initiative of the International Association for Human Values, a volunteer-based, charitable non-governmental organization dedicated to the development and promotion of human values in society.
