The Institute for Global Ethics (IGE) is a civic and social organization focused on helping people reason through everyday ethical questions by providing adaptable tools and frameworks for analyzing the world around them. Its approach emphasizes how individuals think and act within broader contexts and cultures, offering participatory methods that groups can customize to address issues that matter to them. Based in Middleton, Wisconsin, the organization has developed surveys and research instruments used across sectors such as business, government, nonprofits, schools, and professional associations to explore shared operating principles and improve decision making and discourse.
IGE positions itself within the ethics and applied philosophy space by aiming to raise the standard of ethical practice and dialogue across diverse enterprises worldwide. Its work covers both individual attitudes and behaviors and the systemic contexts that support ethical action, with a history of collaborative projects, including early value surveys conducted with help from the Gallup Organization. The organization serves a broad audience—from K-12 to graduate-level education and various professional groups—seeking to align processes and cultures with ethical considerations without prescribing specific conclusions.
