Why do I consider the activity in the Advisory board of the SCC to be meaningfull? 

„I regard the cooperation with the SCC as a unique opportunity for the convergence of science and praxis in Slovakia. Benefits of our cooperation can be utilized by the students for whom SCC members prepare presentations, by the academics who receive more space for their research in companies that are members of the SCC, as well as the managers of companies associated in SCC, who can draw on the unique expertise of scientists for the purpose of the ethical development of their businesses. The motto of the SCC fully describes the reasons for which we seek to develop and train our students, the prospective managers, in business ethics at the Faculty of Management, Comenius University in Bratislava. I am fully convinced that both the promotion of the principles of business ethics and the creation of a transparent business environment are absolutely necessary for a sustainable future of our society.“
