About Globethics
International NGO with over 20 years' trusted expertise in responsible governance and ethical leadership
Working for ethical leadership since 2004
For over two decades, Globethics has been a trusted name in ethics and governance — working at the intersection of business, government, civil society and international institutions to turn values into action.
Founded in Geneva in 2004, Globethics holds consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council and is recognised by partners worldwide for its work in convening, capacity building, and knowledge sharing. From our Geneva headquarters, supported by a global team and board spanning every world region, we work alongside organisations of every kind — from multinational businesses navigating AI governance to grassroots civil society groups confronting corruption — to move beyond compliance toward lasting, values-driven impact.
We bring the same credibility and adaptability to a multinational boardroom as we do to a community organisation in Sub-Saharan Africa — because we believe ethical leadership should be accessible everywhere it's needed.
Ethical leadership for a just, inclusive and sustainable world.
Empowering individuals and institutions towards excellence in responsible governance.
Responsibility – Inclusion – Integrity

Globethics' global legacy
Globethics was founded in 2004 in Geneva by the initiative of Christoph Stückelberger and the participation of 29 other experts in ethics from 4 continents and 21 countries (Cameroon, Kenya, Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa; China, India, Indonesia, Lebanon; Belgium, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK; Argentina, Brazil, Chile, USA), with the aim to foster networking and nurture synergies, empower individuals and institutions, and facilitate collaboration for impactful initiatives in research and advocacy, in the diverse fields of ethics and leadership.
Over the past two decades, we have worked across sectors and world regions to support individuals and organisations in ethical leadership and decision-making through capacity-building programmes, our publications and research library, and international events.
