JSE issues apology for the incorrect meta description on broker search

JSE Limited (“JSE) was alerted to an incorrect meta description automatically generated by search engines when searches relating to the JSE in relation to company information is performed. This resulted in the JSE’s awareness campaign relating to a cautionary pop-up on the JSE website regarding investment scams being displayed in search results.

The JSE has implemented technical measures to remedy the incorrect description.

We sincerely apologise for the error and in the event that you require any further information in respect of the remedial actions implemented or the JSE to clarify the incorrect search results, please contact [email protected].

Course outline:

Business across South Africa are concerned about the widespread ethical failures threatening the conditions for success in the country.  Join us for an interactive seminar about ethical corporate leadership, where we introduce cutting-edge thinking in business ethics, behavioral economics and psychology and draw on a wealth of practical examples and applications.  Blending conceptual and experimental learning, we address these concerns with pragmatic, innovative solutions designed to drive corporate sustainability and growth.

Who should attend?

  • Company Secretaries
  • CFO
  • CEO
  • Investor Relations Officers
  • Members of Social & Ethics Board Committees        

     

Underpinning the workshop are three interrelated themes:                

 

1.     The corporation is not an amoral entity whose sole purpose is to maximise shareholder wealth within the parameters of the law. Increasingly in  the world and especially in the current South African context, business is
         expected to assume the role of a moral protagonist, an agent with a wider set of responsibilities. Increasingly, corporations are required to demonstrate a commitment to ethical practices, based on values such as
         integrity, responsibility, fairness, respect and care.

2.     Ethical behaviour builds trust, and when there is trust, business and society flourish. Conversely, a lack of trust between business and its various stakeholders is profoundly dangerous.

3.     Ethics should not be seen as abstract, predictable and boring and merely an "add-on" to core commercial activities. Ethics is practical, dynamic and innovative and belongs at the centre of organisational decision
        making.

 

Themes and Objectives:

• How business faces a new set of expectations and challenges, and how leaders can develop

   more innovative approaches to ethics management

 • How to build reputation and trust through ethics

• How to merge social and financial imperatives to achieve superior performance

• How to make ethics an integral part of business models, and how to turn them into a

   source of risk management and competitive differentiation

• What defines and drives our ethical choices, how to build a more "ethically fit" culture in

   organisations and how to effect behavioural change

• How to define and clarify ethical dilemmas, and how to practically resolve or reconcile

   them

• Local and international best practices

• Understanding ethical tools and paradigms
