Integrity Dialogue

Define your moral compass together

Aristotle once said: "Experience is the mother of all wisdom." By sharing and learning from the experiences of others, we can better determine where our boundaries lie. With this Integrity Dialogue, we offer you the opportunity to engage in informal conversations with your colleagues about integrity and sustainability. This helps you make conscious choices and strengthen your moral compass as a set of values and principles that guide your decisions and actions.

How to organise an Integriy Dialogue within your organisation?

To successfully organize an Integrity Dialogue, there are five steps to keep in mind. We have outlined these steps in a detailed document. Feel free to skip any steps if you believe this will enhance the dialogue about integrity within your company. The goal is to engage in respectful and accessible conversations about important themes presented in the dilemmas featured in the videos.

Step1

Plan a
meeting

Outdoor Work Meeting

Organize a separate team, lunch event or another special event with colleagues from different departments to have an inspiring Integrity Dialogue from different perspectives, such as the business perspective, the legal and compliance perspective. Diversity is key to initiate a good dialogue. The event may takes about two hours.

Step 2

Select a
dillemma

Video Editing

Choose one of the videos with a sustainability-related dilemma available on the Week of Integrity website, or propose a relevant dilemma from your company or the provided examples below. Play the video, or read out the dilemma, and ask the group to reflect on the closing question: "What would you do?"

Step 3

Select a moderator

Business Presentation

The role of the moderator is crucial in guiding a productive and open dialogue. They ensure that the conversation stays focused, that every voice is heard, and that the dialogue is respectful and inclusive. If possible, try to secure a champion from management who supports the dialogue and is willing to advocate for further actions based on the dialogue.

Step 4

Facilitate the Dialogue

Group Discussion

Encourage participants to share their perspectives. Ask open-ended questions to ensure a broad dialogue (Open-ended questions are those that cannot be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" response. Instead, they encourage participants to elaborate on their thoughts, share experiences, and provide more detailed insights. These types of questions are useful for promoting deeper conversation, exploring multiple perspectives, and fostering critical thinking):

Step 5

Putting ideas
in action

Giving a Presentation

Identify actionable insights from the dialogue to enhance sustainability practices and strengthen integrity, then report these outcomes to leadership to drive real changes. Incorporate feedback from various departments, keep the conversation ongoing with regular follow-ups, and address new ethical questions as they emerge.

Dilemma video's

How would you deal with such a dilemma within your organisation?

During the run-up to the Week of Integrity 2024, we will provide you with a number of videos that present dilemmas, related to one of the seventeen UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), meant to inspire for a dialogue. These videos will help you and your organization to reflect on its practices, values, and ambitions in the context of sustainability. It should provide you and your colleagues with a safe space to start the conversation.

Sorry Board Game

Integrity Game

Define your moral compass together

This interactive game, which we developed ourselves, challenges participants to think critically about integrity in Sustainability, ethical dilemmas and make decisions that reflect integrity. It’s an engaging way to introduce integrity principles within your organization. This tool can be used during team-building sessions or training workshops, making ethics fun and impactful.

Introduction

Step1

Getting Prepared 

Outdoor Work Meeting

Select a Game Leader: Choose someone who will guide the session and explain the rules. The game leader should also review the game materials in advance to be prepared for any questions. Gather Your Team: The game supports 2-6 players or teams. Encourage a mix of participants from different support functions and roles to bring diverse perspectives to the game. This approach allows for richer discussions and learning from various viewpoints. Set the Time and Place: Integrity Game sessions work well during team-building events, lunch-and-learn sessions, or as a special feature in training workshops.

Step 2

Set the Atmosphere

Video Editing

Arrange the Space: Use a comfortable room with enough space for players to move around the board, place their pieces, and interact easily. Arrange the seating to encourage discussion. Prepare the Materials: Distribute the game board, SDG cards, business cards, die, penalty tokens, and any other necessary items. Ensure each team or player has their own business card with the SDG goal they need to fulfill. Decide the Winning Goal: Choose one of two game modes: Standard: The first player/team to collect 6 SDGs wins. Fast-paced: Set a time limit, and the player/team with the most SDGs at the end of the session wins.

Step 3

Playing the Game

Business Presentation

Starting the Game: The game leader explains the goal of the game and how each card type functions (SDG, Chance, Penalty, etc.). Make sure everyone understands the purpose of each card and the concept of collecting SDG cards. Moving Around the Board: Players roll the die to move and can choose to stop at an SDG or Action space. Emphasize that answering SDG questions should be done thoughtfully and with integrity in mind. Discussing Dilemmas: Some SDG cards are dilemma cards designed to spark ethical discussions. Encourage open discussion here and use these cards as an opportunity for players to reflect on integrity.

Step 4

Wrap-Up and Reflection

Group Discussion

Conclude with a short debrief where players can share their takeaways. Discuss how the choices they made during the game reflect real-life business situations and the importance of integrity.

Step 5

Tips for Success

Giving a Presentation

Adapt to Your Organization: Feel free to customize the game’s pace and length based on your team’s schedule. The game’s main goal is to encourage conversations about integrity in a fun and engaging way. Encourage Teamwork and Diverse Perspectives: Mixing teams from different departments or functions helps bring fresh insights and supports a well-rounded approach to integrity, fostering a culture of mutual learning and support.

Below is a short introductory video that doesn’t reflect the game’s design style—it’s just an introduction to show how the game is played.

Integrity Drinks

Sparking Conversations on Ethics

Our Integrity Drinks toolkit is designed to help partners host informal, engaging events focused on ethical discussions. With a provided PowerPoint containing questions, answers, and concise explanations, participants can explore real-world dilemmas and share best practices. These sessions offer a relaxed setting to deepen understanding, align on values, and strengthen ethical decision-making within the team.

Instructions

How to organise an Integrity Pub Quiz within your organisation?

Hosting an Integrity Pub Quiz or Integrity Drinks is easy with just a few steps. We’ve outlined the key steps hereunder in order to help you plan your quiz for maximum engagement. Adjust the questions and setup to fit your organisation's needs. The goal is to create a fun, interactive experience that encourages conversation and learning around key integrity themes.

Step1

Select Relevant Questions

Outdoor Work Meeting

Start by choosing the questions that best align with your organization’s integrity focus. Include a mix of general integrity topics and a few challenging ones, like those with Transparency International figures, to encourage a competitive edge and make it easier to declare a winner.

Step 2

Decide on a Prize

Video Editing

Choose a prize that will excite participants, such as a gift card, a team lunch, or any motivational token.

Step 3

Set the Right Environment

Business Presentation

Create an engaging setting for the quiz. Consider hosting it during a lunch break, as a “Lunch & Learn” session, or even after work with drinks. A relaxed setting, whether in-person or virtual, helps encourage participation.

Step 4

Determine Quiz Duration

Group Discussion

Set the quiz duration based on your available time and group dynamics. A standard 20-question format generally takes around 30-45 minutes, but you can adjust the number of questions to fit a shorter or longer session.

Step 5

Run the Quiz in your setting

Giving a Presentation

Use the PowerPoint presentation with printed answer sheets for team-based play, which fosters interaction and team spirit as participants work together. Alternatively, you can use a digital tool like Kahoot or Slido, which may suit individual play but doesn’t allow as much team interaction. Choose the format that best matches your goals—whether encouraging teamwork or offering a faster-paced, individual experience with digital score tracking.
