What the paper says

This report on Business Ethics in the Netherlands is based on desk research, a survey, and interviews with educators, researchers, and trainers. Using the GBSE framework, we observed considerable variation in terminology and creativity in teaching and research approaches to business ethics. Key themes include artificial intelligence, sustainability and climate justice, inequality, polarization, and the global business systems. While the limited number of responses constrains generalization, the findings offer insight into current debates on business ethics in the Netherlands. Respondents highlight tensions between philosophical and practice-based approaches, the juridification of ethics, questions of normativity, and cultural differences (e.g., Anglo-Saxon vs. Rhineland models). Despite these complexities, business ethics is recognized and valued in Dutch academia and practice. The field remains dynamic and alert to societal and technological developments.
