You cannot fight corruption by fighting corruption!

In this month's lead article, Prof Leon van Vuuren is looking into systemic corruption in our society, its devastating ramifications, and how to grapple with this silent annihilator of the moral. 

"How can the tide be turned? As a small step forward, we will identify several traditional and popular ways of fighting corruption and evaluate their effectiveness. We will then explore a few ideas on what could be done to affect the tide."

Ethically Aware Supplier Induction programme
More information on our easy EASI!

Due to the increasing pressure on large organisations to ensure their suppliers remain aware of ethical issues such as anti-corruption, labour, environmental and human rights practices, TEI had developed a short online course in business ethics to help participants reflect on ethical challenges relevant to their business, and to provide them with tools for promoting ethics in their organisations.

EASI is an interactive programme with animated video content, interesting case-studies, practical scenarios and exercises to keep the participants engaged in this exciting learning experience.

New website

As of 21 August 2020, TEI’s new website is OFFICIALLY LIVE!

The goal of the new website is to create a user-friendly browsing experience for our audience. Therefore, some of the changes you could expect include general navigation adaptation, with drop-down menus for both mobile and desktop versions.

We have also improved on the structure of our content and as part of this change, the 'Communication Archive' will no longer be available on a by-user basis. Should anyone be interested in accessing prior bulletins and/or themed presentations, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@tei.org.za.
