The Louvain School of Management (LSM) of the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) is launching the first university certificate in Business ethics and compliance management in Belgium. This programme is supported by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and is approved by Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) as part of continuous education requirements for compliance officers.
Business ethics, compliance and corporate responsibility are key elements that define modern business competitiveness. Leading companies set the standards of performance and behavior and are clear about what they aspire to be. However, they also operate in a complex, fast changing and competitive business environment. Based on LSM values of excellence and ethics, this certificate aims to provide professionals and leaders with the tools to manage those complex dilemmas and implement effective, agile and appropriate cultures and programmes throughout their business.
Various professors of UCL as well as a wide range of national and international senior Ethics and Compliance practitioners will intervene in the certificate to provide an up-to-date perspective of the scientific knowledge in ethics and compliance, as well as practical tools to establish a robust Ethics and Compliance programme or add value to the existing ones.
This unique university certificate answers to a market need and adds value in the participants’ professional cursus. It will enable you:
• Master the multidisciplinary components of an integrity and compliance strategy.
• Understand the key success factors for establishing an ethics and compliance programme, including the international aspects relevant for their company.

• Establish control and prevention mechanisms to mitigate ethical and compliance risks for business activities.
• Develop monitoring and audit mechanisms for the ethical and compliance programme and thus ensure that the programme remains fit for its purpose.
