Nordic Ethics & Compliance Survey Launch – Live discussion in Helsinki
In collaboration with NBE, we are excited to announce that the results of the NBE Ethics & Compliance 2025 Survey will be officially launched on 19 November in Helsinki.
This webinar offers a unique opportunity to gain fresh insights and engage in thought-provoking discussions.
Together with our panel of experts, we will present and reflect on the key findings of this year’s survey. The panel discussions will be moderated by Niina Ratsula, co-founder of NBE.
The Nordic Ethics & Compliance Survey provides benchmarking data and valuable insights into how compliance work is structured across Nordic companies. This year, we’ve expanded the survey with new questions and included reflections from 15 in-depth interviews with leading Ethics & Compliance professionals in the region.
We look forward to your active involvement! Please note that the webinar link will be sent approximately 30 minutes before the webinar starts.
