It has been a busy time for ethics and integrity news in recent months: executives going to jail, companies receiving massive fines and penalties, CEOs being dismissed or stepping down, and class action lawsuits. But perhaps the unlikeliest ethics scandal is the cheating allegation that rocked the 2024 World Conkers Championship. In his editorial from the upcoming Fall issue of Ethisphere Magazine, Editor in Chief Bill Coffin explains how even in a world as small and insular as that of competitive conkers (what *is* conkers, anyway?), conflicts of interest and speak-up culture matter just as much as they do at any Fortune 500 organization. Why? Because no matter what the stakes, ethics is everything.
