Research lies at the core of CIBE mission statement. Both outcomes of projects -carried out independently and with our partners, are aimed at nurturing and fostering a debate about the nature of moral philosophy and its business applications, with a particular focus on the Asian, mainly Chinese, context. For this reason our research activities are streamlined around theoretical and empirical studies focusing on Chinese (Asian) Business Ethics  and CSR on one side, and more practical efforts through conferences and publications on the other. Our training, done by our training staff, brings its own unique input to our research by keeping us up to date with the latest and local challenges in Business Ethics.
