Peter P. Dhillon Centre
for Business Ethics,
UBC Sauder School of
Business
When it comes to applying ethical
perspectives to business, the Dhillon
Centre has aimed to be a leading
international voice since it launched in
2015. That effort's three pillars: excel-
lence in values-based research; boost-
ing student connection to ethics and
responsible business; and engaging
and collaborating with the community,
policy makers and business partners.
The Dhillon Centre's work over the
past two years includes hosting the
Business for Social Good conference,
which featured research presentations
by dozens of academics. It also spon-
sored and coached
UBC Sauder's CFA
Canadian Ethics Challenge teams, and
sponsored and managed a team for the
U.S.-based Milgard Invitational Case
Competition on Social Responsibility.
As the world moved online in 2020, its
academic director, executive director
and Distinguished Scholar served
as speakers, experts, moderators,
panellists and chairs at many virtual
events, on topics ranging from brand
accountability to board diversity.
Hedgehog Technologies
After COVID pushed electrical
engineering consulting firm Hedgehog
to go remote, the company encouraged
staff to share their expertise online.
That was the spark for Burnaby-based
Hedgehog's work with the Neil Squire
Society, a nonprofit that develops
assistive technology for people with
disabilities. Volunteering with the soci-
ety's Makers Making Change program,
employees built a low-cost, open-
source door sensor alarm that notifies
a caregiver's smartphone when their
patient opens the front door.
To empower fellow engineers
to create their own energy and
technology solutions, Hedgehog also
launched a quarterly webinar series
that has covered rooftop solar power,
safety risk assessments and assistive
tech design.
