Compliance & Ethics Week 2015

November 2-6, 2015

 

Compliance Begins with You!

This year will be the 10th anniversary of National Compliance and Ethics Week and the first time we will be formally celebrating it here at the Research Foundation!

Our goal is to highlight the importance of Compliance and Ethics at both the Research Foundation and SUNY, and to focus specifically on the supporting role that compliance plays in various aspects of our business.

Why Celebrate?

By celebrating Compliance & Ethics week, we increase awareness in ways that reinforce not just specific rules and regulations, but an overall culture of compliance and ethics and commitment to good corporate citizenship.
