Ethical Issues in Financial Activities
This paper is the result of work by some fifteen people who hold senior positions in Geneva’s financial sector or are external observers of the financial world. The group was established on the initiative of the Observatoire de la Finance. Its objective was to consider ethical issues which are raised by financial activities, taking into account both the specifics of transactions and the general context in which they take place. In doing this the group did not seek to propose another code of conduct or to provide answers, but rather to see whether the issues have genuine validity.
The group:
Jeremy Arroum, analyste financier indépendant ; Jean-Michel Bonvin, Observatoire de la Finance ; Claude Bretton-Chevallier, Université de Genève ; Yves Burrus, Marcuard Cook & Cie ; Christian Coméliau, Institut universitaire d’Etudes de Développement ; Vincent de Cannière, Compagnie Bancaire Genève ; Paul H. Dembinski, Observatoire de la Finance ; Edouard Dommen, Université de Sunderland ; François-Marie Monnet, MultiPlus Finance SA ; Claude Morgenegg, Bordier et Cie ; William Ossipow, Université de Genève ; Dominique Peccoud S.J., Organisation internationale du Travail ; Christian Puhr, Renaissance PME Fondation suisse d’Investissement ; Ernesto Rossi di Montelera, IBZ Bank ; Mohsen Sohrabi, MBS Capital Advice ; Justin Welby, Church of England.
