Once described as, “the grit in the oyster that creates the pearl,” Ruth Steinholtz wishes to make a difference in the world by changing attitudes and practices relating to ethics and compliance. Ruth joined the Risky Women event at the Refinitiv Regulatory Summit in Singapore. In this podcast, you will join the event to learn more on the Ethics of Compliance.

Following a varied and exciting international legal career, Ruth Steinholtz founded AretéWork in 2011. The firm assists organisations globally in managing risk and improving results by fostering strong ethical cultures based upon values. Previously, as General Counsel and Head of Ethics at Borealis AG, Ruth developed a values based approach to ethics and compliance – employing ethics ambassadors throughout the company. Organisations around the world have adopted this approach; publicised through Ruth’s Good Practice Guide to Ethics Ambassadors written for the IBE and her many speaking engagements.  Ruth continues to push for change through her co-authorship, with Professor Chris Hodges, of the book Ethical Business Practice and Regulation: A Behavioural and Values-Based Approach to Compliance and Enforcement.
