CORPORATE INTEGRITY PROJECT
NLPC promotes integrity in corporate governance, including honesty and fair play in relationships with shareholders, employees, business partners, and customers. In doing so, NLPC places special emphasis on the following:
- Asserting that the social responsibility of the corporation is to defend and advance the interests of the people who own the company, the shareholders. True responsibility is fidelity to one’s own mission, not someone else’s or someone else’s political agenda.
- Exposing the seeking of influence on public officials by corporations, which is the inevitable result of high levels of government spending and intervention in the marketplace.
- Combating practices that undermine the free enterprise system, including corporate giving to groups hostile to a free economy.
