Welcome

If there is a local source in the Rochester area for all things ethical in business, this is it – home of the Rochester Area Business Ethics Foundation.   

On this site you’ll learn about the variety of events and activities RABEF sponsors:

  • A local business ethics awards program that feeds into a national awards program

  • Lectures, professional presentations and events that offer important information for an ethically run business

  • Community events
     
  • A scholarship program for high school and undergraduate college students majoring in business

  • Links to ethics resources to help businesses and their managers do things the right way

  • Short, timely “must read” essays that spark new approaches to running a business in an ethical manner

While its most public activity is the annual Rochester Business Ethics Award, RABEF - a 501(c)(3) charitable organization - remains active throughout the year, premised on the belief that business ethics is not a once-a-year event but a year-round conversation.    

Again, welcome and have a good, and ethical, day.

Probably the proudest moment we've had in a long time is being the recipient of the Rochester Business Ethics Award...This is really a testament because it dispels preconceived notions out there about what contactors are about. - Ray Isaac, Isaac Heating and Air Conditioning, Democrat & Chronicle, January 19, 2009

Geva Comedy Improv for RABEF a big and funny success

On March 16 and 18, approximately 250 people attended the 2010 edition of Risque Business at Geva Theatre. Not only did the event raise awareness of good business ethics, it raised $4,000 for the Rochester Area Business Ethics Foundation, whose mission is to promote a year-round discussion of good business ethics and how they benefit our community.    The event was staged by RABEF and Geva Comedy Improv, with sponsorship by Bank of Castile and AM&M Financial Advisors. Special thanks to Brother Wease and to Joe Lomonoco for their on-stage appearances.
