Globethics.net is a global network of teachers and institutions with the vision to embed ethics in higher education. Founded in 2004, Globethics.net strives to educate and inform people, and especially leaders in society so they can contribute to building sustainable, just, and peaceful societies. Therefore, Globethics.net believes that equal access to knowledge resources in the field of applied ethics enables individuals and institutions from developing and transitioning economies to become more visible and audible in the global discourse is pivotal. Globethics.net maintains the conviction that the transformative effect of ethics is not just for the individual, but for society as a whole. For this reason, Globethics.net develops its resources and programs to meet the following goals: empowerment (developing talents), transformation (placing common good before self-interest), a holistic approach (understanding of in-depth correlations), integrity (making values-based decisions and behaviors), competence (focusing on innovative and collective proficiency), and sustainability.
