Conflict of Interest Statement

The Clarkson Centre for Business Ethics is largely supported by private donations from corporations and individuals that support its research initiatives.

The Centre does not conduct any commercial activities that may pose potential conflicts of interest. If that changes, the Centre and its leadership and faculty will disclose any such activities.

All funds received are administered by the University and acts as a safeguard to ensure that funds are spent responsibly, and in accordance with any terms and conditions attached. Every effort is made to uphold the University’s reputation for fairness, integrity and honesty; most importantly, the entitlement of students and employees to equitable treatment. The University also expects of its members the highest standards of ethical conduct in every aspect of research, in accordance with the University’s Policy on Ethical Conduct in Research. When publishing the finding of research, the University Policy on Conflict of Interest – Academic Staff requires faculty members to disclose the source of funding in the publication unless the faculty member has obtained approval to do otherwise.
