Move Values to Action

Make Bioethics an Everyday Practice by Going Beyond Compliance

MISSION. VISION. VALUES.

These are the Northstars for every organization. But, how do you make core values come alive?

Knowing how to effectively, efficiently, and consistently promote values within the complex biopharmaceutical industry can be challenging, especially without clear ethical standards.

Often the distinction between ethics and compliance is blurred, resulting in an over-reliance on regulatory requirements to address ethical concerns – and more specifically – bioethical concerns.

At EthicsMatters LLC (EthicsMatters), we are on a mission to move values to ethical action by equipping organizational leaders to use an intentional, systematic approach to bioethics.

EthicsMatters is the brainchild of Dr. Luann Van Campen, a recognized leader in biopharmaceutical bioethics.

Dr. Van Campen was Eli Lilly and Company’s first full-time bioethicist and one of the first in the industry to hold such a role. During her 10 years as Senior Advisor and Head of Bioethics, she and her team conducted nearly 400 consultation cases, developed 16 company positions, and created a bioethics framework for human biomedical research.

Her innovative efforts earned her Lilly’s
