The W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics (CAE) was created in 1993 and is an independent unit in the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C. Primarily an interdisciplinary research centre, CAE
studies a diverse range of topics, including health care practices, business and professional procedures, new information technologies and environmental issues; trains ethicists grounded in the theories and methods of ethics and political economy, a robust knowledge of the subject matter (e.g., medicine, commerce, environmental science), as well as expertise in social science research methodologies; and consults for private, public, and not-for-profit institutions and groups.
Council for Ethical Leadership
Formerly the Council for Ethics in Economics, the origin goes back to the late 1970s and a bitter international dispute. At the time the Columbus-based Ross Division of Abbott Laboratories became involved in the controversy triggered by the allegation that it and other multinational corporations (notably Nestle) were unethically marketing their infant formula products to mothers in Third World areas. For several years, leaders from Abbott/Ross and central Ohio religious and educational institutions met to examine this issue in a non-confrontational way. The strategy of respectful but candid dialogue proved so fruitful that the participants decided to extend it to a broader range of issues and to a wider circle of persons. This evolution led to the establishment of the Council for Ethics in Economics. The members of the Council (individuals, church congregations, educational institutions, and corporations) form a strong leadership network for advancing good practices in business and economics.
