English term or phrase: Corporate Ethics Officer
is committed to supporting the ethics administrators of each operating unit and the Corporate Ethics Officer’s authority to review employee concerns and to ensure proper management response

J'ai traduit jusque là par "Responsable du service éthique et responsabilité"...N'y a t'il pas mieux ? Merci
Claire Mendes Real
responsable éthique
Explanation:
Is the text for Europe? I recently translated a French article from "Liaisons sociales" magazine from Nov. 2003 in which the author used "responsable éthique" but said he had also seen "[responsable] des pratiques commerciales" and "[r.] des conduites". Whichever you choose, I think I would avoid using "du service de" because there may not be a department but instead a single person.
Good luck!
Steven

Note: I have also seen hits for \"déontologue\" but I think this is perhaps still very new.
