The McGill Desautels Faculty of Management is seeking a candidate for the Lester J. Fernandes Chair in Business Ethics.

Research and practice in management increasingly emphasize the importance of ethically grounded attention to societal concerns, including a commitment to business practices that exceed the basic requirements of legal and regulatory frameworks. Every aspect of management has an ethical dimension, and scholarly research in the field articulates and examines those dimensions. Whether principles-based or pragmatic in nature, business ethics research is rooted in exploring the moral underpinnings of management decisions and activities, and in displaying ways to apply ethical frameworks to the practice of management. Ethical foci include, but are not limited to: minimizing psychological harm to consumers; corporate social responsibility; trust, transparency, compliance, and fairness in financial dealings; prioritizing product safety; protecting vulnerable populations; ensuring data privacy, security, transparency, and explainability; developing unbiased algorithms and responsible data use; addressing the social impacts of AI and IT-induced biases; equitable compensation policies; combating labour discrimination and other unethical behavior by corporations, government, and NGOs; exposing and redressing systemic obstacles to advancement for historically marginalized communities and workers; fair resource and information dissemination; sustainable growth aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals; ethical sourcing and fair labor practices across value chains; integrating ethics into analyzing complex decisions; and ethical coordination of aid in crises.
