Social and Ethics Committee Trends Survey Report 2022

The Social and Ethics Committee (SEC) Trends Survey was first introduced in 2020 to collect representative data on the SEC that can be used as a baseline for analysing trends with regards to the SEC over time. The Survey is jointly conducted by The Ethics Institute and the Institute of Directors in South Africa. The 2022 SEC Trends Survey is already the third edition of this survey.

What is unique about the SEC, is that it is a statutory committee required by legislation in South Africa. Thus, the statutory nature of the governance structure, rather than the social and ethics mandate of the committee, is unique on a worldwide scale. The current edition of the SEC Trends Survey provides insight into the nature, composition, effectiveness, but also challenges and impediments of the SEC.

Supporter Masterclass


The Ethics Institute (TEI) recently embarked on a three-year research project on the topic of positive ethics in organisations. The research objective is to develop a frame of reference that could provide strategic direction to conceptualising a positive approach to organisational ethics. The purpose of the 16 November 2022 seminar is to introduce the theme to our TEI supporters and to harness further ideas that could inform the process of propelling our field into a more positive paradigm.

This event is exclusive to The Ethics Institute Supporters.

In this half-day workshop, our experts will explain and position the role of the ethics champion in organisations. The programme
contents are aimed at equipping ethics champions with the skills necessary for their role and responsibilities.
