Text:
Business ethics refers to the standards for morally right and wrong conduct in business. Business ethics enhances
the law by outlining acceptable behaviors beyond government control.
Corporations establish business ethics to promote integrity among their employees and gain trust from key
stakeholders, such as investors and consumers. While corporate ethics programs have become common, the quality
varies.
Almost every company now has a business ethics program. In part, that is because technology and digital
communication have made it easier to identify and publicize ethical missteps. To avoid the negative implications,
companies are devoting more resources to business ethics.
In addition to establishing formal programs, companies are creating ethical workplaces by hiring the right
persons . “High integrity and honesty” is the second-most important skill for business leaders. Today’s business
professionals must understand the link between business ethics and business success.
