Business stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, customers, and the general public,
receive positive benefits from businesses that follow ethical principles and practices. In the
workplace, employees may find themselves in situations in which they have to choose the
appropriate behavior. It is possible to encounter situations that give rise to conflicts of interest,
conflicts of loyalty or issues of honesty and integrity. When they do, you will be called upon to
make difficult decisions.
