The Centre for Enterprise, Markets and Ethics (CEME)

We aim to bridge the interface of theology, economics and business in promoting an enterprise economy built on solid ethical foundations.

CEME’s distinctive contribution comes from the promotion of the market economy that draws upon a Christian perspective within a framework of calling, integrity and ethical behaviour. Our approach combines academic work in business, economics, and theology with a direct engagement with the business community.
