Peter Hardi Curriculum Vitae (2015)
Dr. Hardi is Professor of Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility at the CEU Business
School and the Director of the Center for Integrity in Business and Government. He joined CEU
Business School in January 1, 2006.
Before coming to CEU Business School, he was Senior Fellow and Program Director for
Measurement and Assessment at the International Institute for Sustainable Development, Canada
where he worked for thirteen years developing innovative solutions, training and assessment tools to
promote sustainable development in governments and business. Dr. Hardi served as advisor to and
project leader at several government agencies in Canada (including CIDA, the Commissioner for
Environment, Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada, NRTEE) and in the United Nations
Commission on Sustainable Development. He established international networks to develop civil
society and corporate programs in responsibility and sustainable development. He was the designer
and leader of major international projects in a variety of settings, ranging from local communities,
nations to trans-boundary regions in highly developed countries as well as developing nations and
countries in transition.
Prior to his work in Canada, Dr. Hardi was the founding Executive Director of the Regional
Environment Center for Central and Eastern Europe. In recognition of his work, he received the US
EPA award for outstanding leadership and international collaboration in 1992.
Dr. Hardi has four decades of university teaching experience in Austria, Canada, Hungary and the US;
more than two decades of training and capacity building practice in diverse areas such as strategic
assessment, reporting, corporate sustainability, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and more
recently, business integrity. At CEU Business School he designed and delivered new courses in CSR,
including a Trans-European Master Class in CSR, in Business Sustainability and recently in Integrity
in Business. He redesigned his Business Ethics course and now teaches a core course for MBA and
EMBA students “Ethical Leaders and Integrity in Business”. Teams formed by his MBA and EMBA
students won several awards in the Inter-Collegiate Business Ethics Case Competition in the past four
years, and his 2013 MBA team became Divisional Champion.
His present research focuses on corporate governance, transparency and accountability, corporate
social responsibility and business integrity. Under his leadership his team participates in major
European Commission funded international research projects in these areas; he is the leader of several
company research projects and has established a broad web of company relations. Since January 2011
he also leads a multi-million dollar project on Integrity Education, aimed at developing an Integrity
Curriculum Framework and testing it in degree and non-degree programs in transition economies. Dr.
Hardi and his team has designed a new, innovative training on business integrity and piloted it with
great success for executives from all five Central Asian countries in Almaty, Kazakhstan in June
2013, for business leaders from three Caucasian countries in Tbilisi, Georgia in June 2014, and will
hold the next executive training for East-Central European business leaders in Bucharest, Romania in
June 2015.
He has published numerous academic papers in peer reviewed journals, monographs and books, see
separate publication list. He is the co-editor of a multi-volume series on Measuring Sustainability
published by Edward Elgar and co-editor of a new book Debates of Corruption and Integrity
published by Palgrave-MacMillan in March 2015. He is also a member of the Editorial Board of
Ecological Indicators.
Dr. Hardi received an M. Sc. in chemistry and an M.A. in philosophy at ELTE University, Budapest; a
Ph.D. in political philosophy at the Budapest University of Economic Sciences; and an advanced
Academy of Science doctorate degree in political science from the Hungarian Academy of Science.
