About DBECC

In recent years, it has become more apparent that ethical practices play a critical role in determining the success or failure of organizations worldwide. Yet, the study of business ethics remains very much underrepresented in undergraduate business programs throughout North America. Recognizing the need to fill this void, the students of Dalhousie University set out to create an event which focused specifically on business ethics and corporate social responsibility.

DBECC makes use of the case method for all rounds of competition. Founded in 2003, DBECC has always been well attended and has attracted some of the best business schools. The best and the brightest from schools across the country, with teams from as far away as the University of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia and Memorial University in St. John’s, Newfoundland, have all competed for top honours in the competition. All competitors have agreed that DBECC offers a mix of challenging and intense competition, informative speaker sessions and most importantly, a fun and exciting weekend with the opportunity for students to interact with peers from across the country and network with industry experts.
