What Roger Steare's clients say
"Looking back at my time at HSBC, you had a huge impact on my thinking and approach."
"Your interventions were the most thought provoking and stimulating I have heard in a long time."
"Roger was challenging, provocative, humorous and very engaging with the students."
"Roger is a lighthouse, in thick fog, in the middle of a zombie apocalypse"
"I just wanted to say a very big thank you for coming along and speaking at our event this morning. I thought you were brilliant and absolutely fascinating!!"
"Thank you for being such a force of nature!"
"Suspect shirts, but a great mind."
"Your session, which was extremely interactive, was delivered with passion… You most certainly hit the ‘buttons’ of the audience."
"It’s said a good creative can step outside the everyday and look at it with new eyes. Roger has this uncanny ability: to look at what we do every day, in work, in play and ask ‘if this is what we do only because we have always done it - is there a better way?’ He offers an alternative. A way that can turn confrontation into community, coercion into camaraderie and business into pleasure."
"In his excellent book Ethicability, Roger Steare argues for a more sophisticated interpretation of integrity in business – one that is not simply defined by the ethics of obedience – so what is legally right or wrong – but actually looks towards the ethics of care and the ethics of reason."
"Many thanks for the great training session; the most fascinating one that I have ever attended."

Roger Steare's 2025 biography
Roger Steare: Global Authority on Ethics, Leadership, and Responsible AI
Roger Steare is The Corporate Philosopher recognised worldwide as a leading expert on moral reasoning, values-based leadership and culture, and the responsible use of AI.
He has collaborated with CEOs and their teams across multiple industries to address billion-dollar ethical challenges and opportunities, focusing on reflection, learning, and a commitment to positive change. Notable partnerships include working with Joe Garner at HSBC in 2007, Openreach in 2012, and Nationwide Building Society in 2016, aiming to foster a culture of social purpose and ethics. In 2023, Joe wrote this testimonial of their work together. “Roger is brilliant in his field and thinks very differently from most.”
Following the 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster, BP asked Roger to develop a global Ethical Leadership program for 4,000 leaders. The program was so impactful that it earned recognition from the US Department of Justice in 2016 as part of the US$20.8 billion Consent Agreement with BP.
In 2012, after RBS’s massive restructuring, he was sought for a leadership and culture transformation program in collaboration with PwC, earning high praise from CEO Stephen Hester for the shared learning and growth experience.
In 2021, he was invited to help a national government to define those moral values that are essential for a fairer society. Drawing on insights from anthropology, psychology, and moral philosophy, he recommended Humanity, Justice, Wisdom, Courage, Temperance, and Resilience as the values that define a fair and prosperous society.
