The purpose of the conference is to address matters of ethics and integrity pertaining to the Luxembourg financial center. It is organized around a panel composed of representatives of the financial center and of the civil society who will engage in a debate and call upon the audience to contribute to it.
As a nonprofit association composed of members of the financial and related professions worldwide, the Luxembourg Institute for Global Financial Integrity’s focus is professional excellence, ethics and integrity within the global financial sector and the financial centers and jurisdictions worldwide in which financial professionals exercise their professions. Such matters pertain to corporate financial governance and financial market integrity in business behavior and regulatory and investors protections.
As a European-based global institution, the Luxembourg Institute for Global Financial Integrity’s vocation is to promote the application of the principles of integrity: fairness, transparency, responsibility and accountability. In applying such principles, LIGFI firmly believes financial and related firms can operate in their best interests, sustain their profitability, avoid systemic risk and respect the general interests of all their stakeholders, be they clients, employees, owners or shareholders, or regulators.
