Jamshedpur, Nov 14: XLRI is all set to organise the 30th Annual JRD Tata Oration on Business Ethics on November 19, Saturday. The oration will be delivered by Bhaskar Bhat, chairman of TATA SIA Airlines and director at Tata Sons Ltd.
XLRI, in association with a few select Tata Group Companies, established in 1991 the JRD Tata Foundation in Business Ethics, to espouse their long-standing commitment and contribution to business ethics in India.
The foundation seeks to address itself by publicly affirming the urgent need for upholding ethics in all spheres of business and the need to bring about a suitably favourable culture in which it can thrive.
JRD Tata, himself a role model par excellence, delivered the first oration in 1991.
Some of the other distinguished names who have delivered this lecture at XLRI earlier were — business ethics professor of the University of St Thomas Ken Goodpaster, founder and chairman of Transparency International Peter Eileen, BBC’s Mark Tully and noted historian Ramachandra Guha.
