A BUSINESSMAN renowned for his ethical standards is due to speak at a leading business organisation's annual meeting.

Sir Adrian Cadbury is due to give the lecture at the Institute of Directors (IoD) annual dinner - due to be held at the Botanical Gardens, Birmingham, on Thursday at 7pm - and will talk about corporate social responsibility.

IoD West Midlands chairman Bob Michaelson said the Cadbury family was "arguably the architects of corporate social responsibility" and Cadbury Schweppes, in Bourneville, Birmingham, had "led the way" as a model local employer since Victorian times.
