The Centre for Business and Public Sector Ethics, Cambridge, founded in 1988, has its own staff in Cambridge but unites, on a national, European and international basis, university professors, businessmen, government officials and professionals, such as chartered accountants and bankers.
The primary function of Centre for Business and Public Sector Ethics, Cambridge, is quality research. The Centre has developed its own unique lateral methodology across a number of disciplines to research complex ethical, social and environmental issues. By this method, the Centre has created a databank and a unique body of knowledge. One of the Centre’s published books (Espionage & Secrecy) won a prize in the USA in 1991 for its outstanding scholarship (see the Centre’s publications www.ethicspress.com)
