An advocate of equal opportunity who is Vice-President of Diversity, Regulatory Affairs, and Corporate Secretary of Goldcorp Inc. is the recipient of the fourth annual Scotiabank Ethical Leadership Award. The award was presented at the closing ceremonies of the Ethics in Action case competition and conference, held at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s Faculty of Management on November 5.
Award recipient Anna Tudela has been a successful leader in the historically male-driven industry, championing inclusion and diversity of women at Goldcorp Inc. and within the mining industry. In 2013, she was the recipient of the Peter Dey Governance Achievement Award. She was recently included as one of 100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining for 2016. Tudela has been named the 2016 Catalyst Canada Honours Champion and has recently been acknowledged as a Champion at the 2016 PEAK Awards for her advocacy of women leadership by the Association of Women in Finance.
Tudela has over 30 years’ experience in the securities and corporate finance area in the USA and Canada. In 2005, she joined Goldcorp Inc. and quickly demonstrated her effectiveness by being engaged in the company’s many subsequent mergers and acquisitions.
In 2010, Tudela founded Goldcorp's Women's Leadership Development program, Creating Choices, a distinguished program in the mining industry. The program inspires, supports and empowers women at Goldcorp to reach their fullest potential. It does this by offering women the education, skills training and mentorship needed to advance both their professional and personal lives, which also benefits their families and communities. In 2013, Tudela led Goldcorp’s first women’s conference, Believe to Achieve. As of 2016, more than 2,000 women have graduated from the Creating Choices and subsequent Growing Choices programs.
The Scotiabank Ethics in Action Ethical Leadership Award recognizes a Canadian leader from a corporate, non-profit or government organization who has demonstrated outstanding ethical leadership within an organization and maintained this leadership in the face of challenging situations that held serious implications and consequences for both the organization and its stakeholders. In 2013, the inaugural award was presented to co-recipients Sir Graham Day and Chief Phil Fontaine. Richard Pound was chosen to receive it in 2014. In 2015, the award was presented to Irwin Cotler.
Ethics in Action provides business students with three ways to participate. A national contest awards prizes for the best video and written essays on the topic of ethical leadership. The student conference was held in conjunction with the case competition on November 4 & 5, 2016, at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍøcampus.
The Faculty of Management established Ethics in Action with a $1.5 million donation from Scotiabank. The student-led program is aimed at engaging business students and the Canadian business community in shaping ethical business leadership. The program is built upon the success of the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍøBusiness Ethics Case Competition, which attracted teams of undergraduate business students from top U.S. and Canadian schools for nine years.
