The backlash from regulatory confusion- are we scaling back on ethics to focus only on compliance? video thumbnail

One key theme in the Nordic Business Ethics Initiative’s Nordic Ethics & Compliance 2025 Survey is the trend to shift from a values-based approach toward a stronger focus on hard law and legal requirements. This is understandable given the regulatory back-and-forth we’ve seen globally. But here’s the risk: formal compliance is only as strong as the culture and values in the organisation. When ethics becomes a checklist, we lose sight of the ultimate purpose of regulation—responsible business conduct that builds trust and resilience. In this webinar, Anna&Niina and Andreas Rasche will explore: Practical ways to balance compliance with culture in times of change The consequences of regulatory uncertainty on organisational culture Why staying committed to the purpose of regulation matters—even as we debate how to do it.
