More Praise for Corporate Integrity

"Managing beyond compliance demonstrates vision and leadership, key indicators in measuring the elusive ‘quality of management,’ which investors strive to define and invest in. Companies that demonstrate leading-edge thinking and climb the integrity ladder are those that will provide superior returns to shareholders over the long-term. This book provides some practical tools to help companies get where they need to be in the 21st century." —Michael Jantzi, Jantzi Research Inc.

"Even as corporations today rile at the thought of further compliance, the unavoidable reality looms...they absolutely require a millennium sherpa to guide them through the rapidly shifting obstacle course of global change to ensure their footing. Donna Kennedy-Glans is one of those rare creatures, with the vision, expertise and knowledge to guide corporations upwards, through these moving targets to make their place as tomorrow’s corporate leaders." —Ellis Kirkland, Chairman and CEO, Kirkland Group of Companies

"Amazing! Donna Kennedy-Glans has the facts and figures to prove that integrity doesn’t just make good ethical sense; it makes good business sense. This book could revolutionize the way that corporations and those whose lives are impacted by them do business together." —Cynthia Bourgeault, Episcopal priest, writer and retreat leader, and author of The Wisdom Way of Knowing: Reclaiming an Ancient Tradition to Awaken the Heart

"Donna Kennedy-Glans provides a practical guide for organizations who view corporate integrity as a business opportunity.  Utilizing the concepts and tools presented in Corporate Integrity, organizations can increase business results while establishing a reputation for the highest levels of accountability." †Mark Samuel, Author of The Accountability Revolution and The Power of Personal Accountability

"With this book, Donna Kennedy-Glans provides valuable insight into the topic of corporate integrity, as well as practical tools to manage it. The audience, from corporate executives to those affected by business everyday, should find this book extremely helpful in encouraging and creating better business practices. As someone who works with companies daily to support greater understanding of their impact on, and ability to manage their effects on, human rights, I recommend this book highly and will refer to it often!" —Krista Hendry, Director, Human Rights & Business Roundtable, The Fund for Peace, Washington D.C.

"I have seen Donna in action and she is a bulldog about making sure companies think beyond compliance. She doesn’t let companies get away with saying that they are doing everything right because they are following the rules. Likewise she wants NGOs to be more accountable to companies." —DeAnna Woolston, Western Colorado Congress

"This book touches on a very important issue for both corporations and governments. We in many countries of the developing world suffer from corruption and a shortage of integrity. The blame is often directed to the governments because their civil service salaries are low and as a result they accept bribes from companies to top up their salaries, and the companies get their business done. To achieve integrity across a society is the responsibility of all governments, corporations, and individuals. I congratulate you for an excellent work." —H.E. Dr. Abdulla Nasher, Republic of Yemen Ambassador to Canada

"The management tools provided in this book outline a proactive approach to regulatory compliance that all but guarantees improved public perception, greater risk reduction, improved regulatory compliance and greater profitability." —Steve Potter, Director, Bureau of Resource Management and Development, Division of Mineral Resources, New York State Department
