Soy ingredients supplier Solae has become one of 30 companies to join the Business Ethics Leadership Alliance, an organization that seeks to provide benchmarks in ethical business conduct.

Vice president, general counsel and chief compliance officer at Solae Cornel Fuerer said: "Becoming a part of BELA reinforces our historical commitment to business ethics and aligns with our core value of ethical behavior. We are excited about this opportunity to join other companies that also recognize the connection between ethical business behavior and strong operating performance and brand."

BELA members say their core values are legal compliance (countering corruption), transparency (disclosing information in full), conflict identification (addressing potential conflicts of interest), and accountability (in terms of environmental sustainability, quality and customer protection).
