An EY Global survey of 50 Swiss executives highlights that unethical behaviour persists, with 36% of executives feeling that it is justified to survive an economic downturn.
Emerging risks are not being taken seriously enough with more than half of Swiss respondents considering cybercrime a low risk, suggesting that executives may not have a proper appreciation of cybercrime.
The survey found that while only 4% believe that bribery and corruption are widespread in Switzerland, 58% of Swiss executives attended anti-corruption training, despite nearly every company (94%) having an anti-corruption policy and code of conduct in place.
