Virtual St Laurence Ethics Forum: Ethics in Business
Members of the Ampleforth Society are cordially invited to attend the fourth Virtual St Laurence Ethics Forum, taking place at 7:00pm (GMT) on Thursday, 24th September.
Building on the Society’s recent trilogy of fora examining the implications of COVID-19 on healthcare, faith and education, our next forum will consider the moral and ethical dilemmas facing several business sectors in the post-COVID world. In particular, the forum will discuss the unique challenges facing business leaders in both the manufacturing and hospitality sectors, of which we are delighted to welcome to the panel, Colonel Nick Channer OBE (D81), Gregory McDonald (B80) and Alexi Hughes (C96).
The session will also conclude with a Q&A, where we invite guests to raise their own questions to the panel via the live chat function.
