Cultural
fit and ethical compatibility are increasingly
recognised as important elements of successful
business relationships, from joint ventures
to mergers and acquisitions. In this report
by David Lascelles, a systematic framework
for identifying integrity risk is suggested
to encourage organisations to employ Ethical
Due Diligence (EDD) alongside financial and
legal due diligence. Ethical Due Diligence
is based on interviews with companies and
experts. It describes the process of EDD and
shows by means of case studies how it is being
applied and shows how it can be deployed to
support business decisions.
