Elena López’s talk delves into the impact of unethical business, something which unfortunately remains a common and global issue. From worker exploitation to climate degradation, these problems have severe consequences for people and planet. Elena’s talk introduces a relatively new area of work - business ethics consulting. This rapidly growing field has evolved to help companies meet their ethics and compliance requirements/regulations and instil best practice in challenging areas such as preventing corruption, mitigating human rights abuses and treating people fairly. Elena is a Spanish national who has lived in Spain, Germany and the UK. She graduated from the University of Warwick in 2019 with a degree in BSc Philosophy, Politics and Economics. She then went on to do an MPhil in Development Studies at Cambridge University focusing on anti-bribery and corruption where she received a Jesus College prize in 2020 for her academic achievements. She has since worked in London as a business ethics consultant in the bespoke consultancy GoodCorporation, where she advises organisations on best practice in Human Rights, Anti-bribery and Anti-Corruption in their operations and supply chain. She loves to read, and also enjoys rowing in the Thames with her local team - a hobby she picked up in Cambridge. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
