An organisation established in 1999 with the aspiration of furthering business ethics on the African continent, it has evolved into a respected entity that provides various fora to collaborate, discuss, and promote business ethics. Activities include seminars and webinars, publication of the respectable African Journal of Business Ethics, awarding of the Order of the Baobab, and the annual BEN-Africa Conference.
