What is Ethics?

Ethics asks how we should live, what choices we should make and what makes our lives worth living.

It helps us define the conditions of a good choice and then figure out which of all the options available to us is the best one.

Ethics is the process of questioning, discovering and defending our values, principles and purpose. It’s about finding out who we are and staying true to that in the face of temptations, challenges and uncertainty. It’s not always fun and it’s hardly ever easy, but if we commit to it, we set ourselves up to make decisions we can stand by, building a life that’s truly our own and a future we want to be a part of.

ABOUT THE ETHICS CENTRE

The Ethics Centre is an independent not-for-profit that advocates for a more ethical society.

A team of innovators, thought leaders and conveners of people and ideas, we deliver a range of services including innovative programs, consulting, leadership and an ethics helpline designed to bring ethics to the centre of everyday life.

Across our work, we aim to diagnose, prevent and cure the sources of ethical failure, to increase ethical literacy through education and information, and develop tools to empower good decision making.

The Centre’s programs are recognised for stimulating public awareness and understanding, creating a space for open, honest and often difficult conversations.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of The Ethics Centre, and we’re committed to educating, engaging and informing for a better world for the 30 years to come.
