    How Leidos Gives Back to the Ethics Community

    The Business Ethics Leadership Alliance (BELA) is a global ethics & compliance community that provides exclusive access to helpful data, benchmarking, events, and other resources to advance your E&C program.   Each year, BELA honors select member companies and individual ethics and compliance leaders for their extraordinary commitment to advancing community engagement, growth, and transformation. These are the BELA Impact Awards, and they reflect BELA’s own dedication to moving the integrity agenda forward for all companies.   In particular, the BELA Community Champion award recognizes outstanding contributions to the member community by way of content resources, event participation, publications, mentorship, or peer-to-peer support.   This year, BELA recognizes American defense, aviation, information technology, health services, and medical research company Leidos—which has also been a World's Most Ethical Companies honoree since 2018—as one of its BELA Community Champions.   With us today to discuss how Leidos earned this award—and how the organization exemplifies the credo that there is no competition in compliance—is Jelahn Stewart, Chief Compliance Officer, Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel at Leidos, where she oversees the organization’s global ethics, compliance, and business integrity functions.  Leidos Ethics & Business Integrity page: https://www.leidos.com/company/ethics-and-business-integrity Learn more about BELA: https://www.ethisphere.com/bela Chapters (00:02:16) - How BELA resources help Leidos achieve their ethics and compliance goals(00:05:16) - How BELA Roundtables provide a forum for E&C leaders to share information and best practices(00:07:17) - On sharing resources to the BELA Member Hub and how Leidos gives back to the E&C community(00:10:26) - Recommendations for contributing a policy or asset to the BELA member hub

    Having Ethics Conversations with Managers

    People managers are the front line for delivering to employees the expectations (and aspirations) of not just the ethics and compliance team, but that of senior management and even the Board. And yet, managers often struggle with these burdens because they just don’t receive the right support...which creates otherwise preventable friction and risk within the organization. In this episode, Ethisphere’s Eric Jorgenson, Director, Data & Services, and Katie Kruger, Senior Culture Analyst, will discuss how organizations can improve their manager communications on topics involving ethics and compliance.

    Managing Cross-Jurisdictional Investigations

    One of the most pronounced concerns of the 2026 risk landscape so far is that of external investigations that involve multiple jurisdictions. Many businesses operate on an international, multi-national, or global basis. And if they don’t, their third-party suppliers and partners certainly do. At the same time, a worldwide fracturing of regulatory expectations, enforcement paradigms, and legal controls have made the threat of a cross-border investigation an even greater risk than it has been traditionally. For any business facing the possibility of dealing with legal troubles that span jurisdictions, there has never been a better time to prepare in advance than right now. Joining us this episode to explain how you can manage the risk of cross-border external investigations is Sagarika Chakraborty, CEO – India and Gulf, and Global Head of Investigations, of IIRIS Consulting, the largest Indian Digital, Risk, and Intelligence consulting firm.

    BELA Asks: How Do I Address External Board Service?

    In today's episode of BELA Asks, Erica Salmon Byrne answers the question, "We are reviewing our approach to service on external boards, both governing and advisory. In particular, what are circumstances in which we would or would not allow compensation for service on such boards?" Erica addresses best practices on ensuring board service is documented as a conflict of interest, getting permission for service, and what to watch out for, particularly in allowing compensation for external board service.  The Business Ethics Leadership Alliance (BELA) is a community of organizations committed to strengthening and maturing their E&C programs. In BELA Asks, we take time to address members' questions, and we share that information widely, because we believe there is no competition in compliance.  #BELAAsks #Ethicast #Ethisphere #ConflictsofInterest

    10 Ways Boards Should Oversee Ethics

    As businesses face relentless market challenges, technological transformations, leadership misconduct, and geopolitical whiplash, Boards of Directors play a vital role in providing the kind of ethical leadership that will help organizations build value and manage risk. And yet, those same pressures also expose the thin ethical oversight that many Boards provide—mainly because they lack practical ways to promote culture, conduct, and trust as core business values. In response, Boards of the Future—a U.S.-based nonprofit advancing ethical leadership and integrity at the highest levels of corporate power—has released How Boards Should Oversee Ethics, a guide that distills ten concrete practices to help boards bring ethics into the center of strategy, risk, and performance conversations. In this episode, Boards of the Future Executive Director, Vera Cherepanova speaks to the distinct practices that can help Boards be better drivers of ethical business culture.
