Ethics and Public Policy Center, Inc.

Washington, DC 20005

The Ethics and Public Policy Center is one of several [organizations] devoted to improving public appreciation of the role of business in what it terms a "moral society." It was founded by Ernest Lefever, who expressed his concern that "U.S. domestic and multinational firms find themselves increasingly under siege at home and abroad. They are accused of producing shoddy and unsafe products, fouling the environment, robbing future generations, wielding enormous power, repressing peoples in the third world, and generally of being insensitive to human needs. We as a small an ethnically oriented center are in a position to respond more directly to ideological critics who insist the corporation is fundamentally unjust."
