Alexander W. Cappelen joins review of the Oil Fund’s ethics
He helped shape the Oil Fund’s first ethical guidelines. Twenty years later, the NHH Professor is once again given an important ethics assignment.
Ethics and Social Responsibility
Companies and CEOs are increasingly expected to act responsibly. Researchers study how companies integrate social and environmental goals in their corporate strategies and activities and whether their strategies and practices coincide. Others research ethics for auditors, corruption and whistleblowing rights for workers.
The integrity of the oil fund requires cowardice
Gunnar S. Eskeland: The oil fund is a very vulnerable transfer of value to future generations. It may require both cowardice and musicality.
Ethical exclusion of shares costs us something – as does offshore wind
Gunnar S. Eskeland: Lack of profitability in offshore wind cannot be solved with subsidies. Minister of Finance Jens Stoltenberg is not being flippant when he says that.
`A PhD at NHH is a fantastic opportunity´
After only six months as a PhD candidate, Lene Mortensen received an award for her research project. `Highly promising, ´ noted the committee.
