Corporate Ethics

Ethics deals with issues of right and wrong. Ethical principles are rooted in philosophy, morality, anthropology, sociology, and human behavior. Whether we like it or not, we face ethical dilemmas both at work and outside of work. Resolving ethical dilemmas is challenging and requires adherence to time-tested principles. This module explores the reality and understanding of corporate ethics.

Ethics is at the center of organizational priorities today. Ethics and governance are closely related to each other, yet there is an important distinction between the two concepts. Governance is the primary responsibility of the board and senior management. Ethics permeates all levels of the organization. Evidence suggests that ethical organizations outperform their peers on key performance metrics. Ethical organizations seem to attract and retain high-quality customers, employees, suppliers, investors, and other stakeholders.
