The mission of Ethics in Business San Antonio is to promote ethical business conduct for the benefit of the workplace, the marketplace, the environment and the community.

Ethics in Business San Antonio is a program of The Center, in collaboration with the UTSA College of Business, University of the Incarnate Word, Trinity University, and St. Mary’s University. The Center presents the Ethics in Business San Antonio Awards in order to:

  • Foster a climate of ethical integrity in the community by recognizing ethical practices of businesses, organizations and individuals.
  • Promote awareness and educate business students in ethical business practices.
  • Heighten awareness in the community of The Center programs and services available to strengthen businesses.
  • To support the healing work of The Center and to fund scholarships for UTSA College of Business, University of the Incarnate Word, Trinity University, and St. Mary’s University students.

The Process

Mentors are selected from businesses, nonprofits, and individuals that have demonstrated exceedingly high ethical conduct, integrity, and civic responsibility as reflected in their dealings with individuals, businesses, employees and the community. These mentors participate in a mentoring project with students at the University of Texas at San Antonio College of Business, University of the Incarnate Word, Trinity University, and St. Mary’s University.

The students spend approximately 8 to 10 hours over the fall semester interviewing and conducting research with these individuals as part of their semester course work. It is a transformational process.

The Event

The Ethics in Business Awards are presented at an event held in the Spring of each year.

The Beneficiaries

Proceeds from the event benefit The Center to strengthen individuals, families and organizations and the UTSA College of Business, University of the Incarnate Word, Trinity University, and St. Mary’s University to further the study and teachings of ethical business practices.
