For the third year in a row, I’ve been honoured by Ethisphere Magazine as one of the “100 Most Influential People in Business Ethics.” I was recognized in the category of “Thought Leadership.”
Once again, I’m humbled but also encouraged that my 5 years’ worth of blogging is seen as having some impact on the world, however indirect.

The Business Ethics Blog 
Congratulations Chris. Richly deserved.
well done Chris. The consistency is quite impressive.
Congratulations. I find your work very useful. Inspiring yes, but more importantly, useful. It is a big challenge to know what is ethical in a world that seems to favor financial and power success over ethics. I see your work as putting practical and ethical in the same sentence. Not surprised at the honor.
Congratulations!
thanks for your contribution to the enrichment of knowledge and the various dimensions of Business Ethics!
Congratulations, Chris. Well deserved.
Regards,
Tim
