TopEndorsements

In the Association of Business Schools' Journal Quality Guide Business Ethics: A European Review is the highest ranked journal edited outside of North American in the Ethics and Governance section.

Ranked 'A' by the Netherlands Research School for Practical Philosophy in the category of Applied Ethics: business and ethics (II toegepaste ethiek: bedrijf en ethiek).

'BE:ER seeks to provide its readers with "readable commentaries on current issues and developments". I believe it succeeds in doing so: the language is straightforward, academic jargon and complex statistical analyses are kept to a decent minimum, the issues addressed are current, the workplace problems of compelling significance, the format is open and inviting, and the selection of topics diverse. For a journal that caters to a pan-European, multilingual audience, those qualities are as admirable and necessary as they are rare.'

'...extremely worthwhile for all who seek a clearer understanding of corporate social responsibility and business ethics.'
