In the context of austerity and weakened states, companies are becoming more and more involved in public goods and general interest, especially multinational European companies. However, these new responsibilities often come with certain distrust.

The employers running these companies have to deal with the question of the values ​​they want to share and more generally the question of their ethics.

To address this and allow an exchange of experiences, the employers' group of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is holding a public hearing on "Introducing a code of ethics for European employers".

The objective of this hearing is to introduce the participants to the code of ethics that was drafted by the employers' group of the EESC for European employers but also to debate on the issues raised in the document, including:

• How much should the employers disclose about their companies?
• How should employers take their partners and environment into account in their daily work?

The hearing also aims at facilitating a lively exchange between European employers, European companies, foundations, public authorities and other stakeholders as well as identifying best practices.
