Our History
Our beginning dates to 2009 and 2010, when a group of European Compliance Officers in the Healthcare Sector met 2 or 3 times per year, to discuss and analyse emerging topics for Compliance professionals particularly in EMEA countries, share best practices and develop internal networking, as well as communication and collaboration with academic institutions.
Prior to 2009, a Compliance leadership Program was designed in 2008 as a collaboration between INSEAD and Johnson & Johnson, for J & J employees, to enhance key leadership competencies necessary to better and more efficiently manage duties and responsibilities in Compliance functions in the Healthcare Sector. The success of this program led in 2010 and 2011 to the development of new sessions open to all professionals in the Healthcare industry, via a specialised Curriculum for Compliance and Ethics professionals developed jointly for SciencesPo, Seton Hall University and INSEAD. Several members of our Association have played a major role, whether in helping to design the programs or as speakers or mentors during the sessions. Our Association will continue to cooperate actively with Academic Institutions or Universities to further develop training programs and professional curricula.
A decision was made in 2011 by the founding members of our Group to move from informal meetings into a more formal structure and to create an Association. Formalising our existence meant, permanently increasing the complexity and importance of our work and laying a foundation for taking next steps on items that are be beneficial to the many Compliance and Ethics professionals within our organisation. ETHICS was therefore incorporated as an Association governed by French law in January 2012.
