LRN Sponsors 2025 Nordic Ethics & Compliance Survey to Advance Region-Specific Insights on Responsible Business Conduct

LRN and Nordic Business Ethics partner to elevate region-specific insights that strengthen global E&C effectiveness

LRN Corporation, a leader in ethics and compliance (E&C) solutions, announced its sponsorship of the 2025 Nordic Ethics & Compliance Survey, an annual study by Nordic Business Ethics examining how organizations across the Nordic region integrate ethics, responsibility, and compliance into daily decision-making.

LRN’s sponsorship supports the survey’s mission to highlight regional insights that enrich global understanding of workplace ethics. The partnership reflects LRN’s belief that effective E&C programs are not a one-size-fits-all solution and must be informed by regional cultural norms and organizational identity. The survey data shows that while Nordic organizations excel in values-driven ethics, their experience mirrors a global trend of increased regulatory expectations and company growth straining operational systems and governance structures.

“Nordic organizations demonstrate what it looks like when ethics is not a mandate but a mindset,” said Danny Collins, SVP EMEA at LRN. “Their approach shows that when values are deeply embedded in culture, compliance becomes a natural expression of how decisions are made. Nordic E&C teams are known globally for their emphasis on trust, transparency, sustainability, and values-driven leadership. This survey reflects the Nordic region’s clear identity and offers lessons for companies everywhere seeking to build ethical cultures that are authentic, resilient, and aligned with their people.”

The survey also reveals that Nordic organizations are facing similar challenges as companies around the world, with managerial perception of program effectiveness differing from employees’ lived experiences.

“Speak-up systems are stabilizing, with higher substantiation rates, which is a sign of increasing maturity and trust,” said Collins. “The real challenge ahead is ensuring that ethical values scale consistently across the organization, especially at the middle management level, where daily decisions are made…The next phase for organizations in the region is building the operational backbone, the systems, workflows, and reinforcement mechanisms that will allow those values to hold under pressure, across borders, and at speed.”

Survey findings will be unveiled at events across the region: Helsinki (Nov. 19), Copenhagen (Nov. 25), Oslo (Nov. 26), and Stockholm (Nov. 27).
