Tune in for this data presentation where our senior data experts will explore the “why” behind key assessment questions and share first insights from the 2026 World’s Most Ethical Companies® data. This year’s data presentation focuses on the themes of organizational justice and the influence of managers. Then, head to the Data Lab Meetups for facilitated networking, benchmarking, and Q&A.
When meeting with the Board of Directors, you often have little time to share the progress of your program or the power of its impact. Program initiatives can be complex and long term, with opportunities to inform the Board often short in duration and infrequent. This is where the power of data comes in.
In this session, learn how companies are using data to drive their story and create engaging board presentations and materials, including how to take data and create a narrative around it, highlighting your program’s impact through data, and how to effectively share KPIs and
initiative outcomes.
Current Ethisphere clients are invited to bring your own device and work with an Ethisphere expert to fill out a section of the Ethics Quotient or learn more about how to use your data in the Sphere.
This interactive session, led by Indiana University’s Todd Haugh, Suneal Bodi, and Mercy School of Law’s David Lourie will help compliance leaders move from the conceptual framework in the keynote to concrete decisions about (1) which offensive compliance strategy fits their organization, (2) what capabilities they can actually leverage, and (3) how to frame and implement that strategy internally.

Andrew Jacobs, Chief Compliance Officer of Avangrid Networks, recently published a paper entitled, “Why Compliance Training Fails” and in it he outlines the major pitfalls that compliance programs are facing with their training. In our conversation he laid out the groundwork for his paper, shares guidance for practitioners as they work to make their compliance training more effective, gives a look into some of the current research, talks about how to create a “cultural norm” within your organization, and shares encouragement for compliance professionals.
As Chief Compliance Officers, we have spent years defending technology investments based on a well-understood formula of efficiency and risk reduction. However, Artificial Intelligence has radically changed the variables. This session provides a roadmap, moving past the “Proof of Concept” phase, and addresses three investment scenarios: justifying the cost of AI, managing the hidden lifecycle costs of “DIY” internal tools, and defending domain-specific spend against the “just use Copilot” pushback.
We’ll discuss an AI Investment Framework to build a narrative that drives your business case through the review processes, including:
- Financial Viability: Quantifying risk mitigation and business protection over simple time savings.
- Operational Impact: Shifting the narrative from simple efficiency to effectiveness.
- Governance Architecture: Fit checks with governance models (e.g., AI usage policies, privacy, frameworks).

This session, led by Lilian Lustre, will highlight how Sanofi is using data and AI to modernize compliance oversight, with a special focus on our SAP Concur AI–driven expense monitoring solution. Through the Assurance Function Analytics (AFA) data lake, we integrate enterprise systems to detect risks at scale and enable real time insights. A flagship example is the automation of travel and expense approvals, where AI now reviews 70% of transactions, reducing payment time from 7 to 2 days and cutting auditor workload by nearly 70%, while significantly improving fraud detection and identifying recurring behavioral patterns. These advances illustrate how data science and responsible AI are reshaping assurance functions—making monitoring more efficient, targeted, and proactive, and reinforcing our global commitment to integrity.
