In Episode 3 of the Principled Podcast, we talk to Samantha Kelen, lead ethics analyst at Duke Energy, about her personal experience in corporate compliance, and her ideas as they relate to the current state--and potential--of ethics. Samantha discusses her beginnings as an administrative assistant to a compliance officer, where her interests were piqued. Through her advancement in the field, Samantha noticed a lack of ethical committees within. She was inspired to focus on and implement policies that were not only contractually and legally compliant, but those that adhered to principled notions of a company’s ethical responsibilities to its employees.
