    AmCham hosts Business Ethics Roundtable

    Yerevan. A Roundtable, organized by the American Chamber of Commerce in
    Armenia (`AmCham'), took place on March 23rd 2004 in the Queen Erato
    Room of the Armenia Marriott Hotel.

    The idea of organizing this roundtable was born at the Business Ethics
    workshop held on July 30th, 2003, which was attended by many
    participants from the private and public sectors and international
    organizations. There was a very positive response from the participants
    and as a result a working group was formed from those who were
    interested in further actions directed towards this mission.

    Thus, in order to continue the discussion and to determine the
    possibilities of promoting Business Ethics principles in Armenia, AmCham
    organised this Roundtable. It was run by Lusine Janoyan, Second
    Vice-President of AmCham, who is a Business Ethics trainee and
    participant in the program on Business Ethics and Good Governance,
    organized by the US State Department of Commerce.

    Lusine Janoyan welcomed the participants to the Round Table, inviting
    them to work together, set up a committee and decide on future actions.
    She asked participants to give their ideas on how to put Business Ethics
    into practice. Following very active discussion, participants set up a
    committee of four people, with Lusine Janoyan as chairperson, which
    would develop and define future activities for the group.

    Participants agreed on the following short and long term plans:

    a. To develop a universal Code of Business Ethics.
    b. To create a library dedicated to the subject.
    c. To cooperate with professional associations and NGOs.
    d. To organise Business Ethics lectures at universities and other
    educational institutions.
    e. To create an online website linked with AmCham.

    Lusine closed the Round Table with a few words of thanks. The next
    meeting of the working committee is scheduled for next week.

    AmCham in Armenia is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving
    the business environment. It has sponsored many conferences and
    workshops, all of which have been successful and well attended.
