Global impact

Globethics understands its mission in the broader context of societal transformation and positive impact on human cohabitation with other-than-human species. Ethical leadership constitutes the crucial vehicle through which the organisation will endeavour to make a transformative impact, particularly in the areas of academic collaboration and policy dialogue.

Young ethical leaders share what Globethics means to them

Ethical Leadership through Higher Education and Global Engagement: Globethics Strategy 2023-2027

In times of increasing fragility and uncertainty, ethics can be compared to a lighthouse whose light guides vessels to harbour in a stormy sea, and ethical leadership becomes the sign of hope in navigating the way. Globethics’ strategic plan for 2023-2027 aims to offer the framework for this role, to orient the organisation as it endeavours through higher education and global engagement to empower current and future leaders to take responsible, informed decisions and courageous actions in difficult and complex circumstances, around eight thematic and development priorities.

Our impact

Increasing capacity of institutions that serve vulnerable communities

Sylvain Xavier Nkembe Kemwa - Globethics and JWL student

Globethics' double accreditation and our partnership with Jesuit Worldwide Learning "enables students to earn recognised university credits, enhancing their educational credentials and creating pathways to higher education or employment despite their marginalised circumstances".

Facilitating cross-global engagement

“I was able to attend the Globethics conference in Geneva and see the impact and scale of the work the organisation does. Personally, it allowed me to meet colleagues from Africa and Asia, regions with which I have rarely had the opportunity to interact in my academic and professional life. We have strengthened personal and institutional links."

Julio C. Durand, Secretario Académico, Universidad Austral, Argentina

Empowering future generations with ethics

“In my work as a community leader, I have used the insights and knowledge I gained through Globethics to improve my content, particularly for women's meetings and youth fellowships. I am now better equipped to teach the next generation, particularly those from rural areas, about activism and the importance of ethics in all aspects of life.”

Ankur Thakor, Student, India
