Annual Business Ethics Conference: Ethics in the Aviation Industry
Second Annual Business Ethics Conference Ethics in the Aviation Industry
This full-day conference will examine social responsibility in the aviation industry. An exceptionally complex industry whose concerns range from those of manufacturing safety and sustainability to global regulation and consumer comfort, the airline industry has received a great deal of media attention in recent years that addresses issues such as passenger compensation, airline safety, maintenance, and whistleblowing.
Deadline to register: Wednesday, October 30th
Event date: Friday, November 15th
Time: 8:45 - 16:30
Location: McGill Faculty Club
This conference will look at these and related issues through the broad lens of ethics in the industry with special focus on three areas:
- ethics, equity, and accessibility;
- profit and social responsibility; and
- sustainability.
Montreal is the global headquarters of several important players in aviation, including the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Airport Council International (ACI), and Bombardier. Bringing together members of Montreal’s professional and academic communities, as well as contributors from the UK and the United States, the Laidley Centre for Business Ethics and Equity will focus its second annual conference on the airline industry, placing special emphasis on the ethical dimensions of its current challenges, and articulate equitable solutions that will sustain the industry in the long term.
