WHY BUSINESSES SHOULD ACT ETHICALLY?

There are a number of reasons why business should act ethically:

  • to meet stakeholder expectations (and protect business reputations);
  • to prevent harm to the general public;
  • to build trust with key stakeholder groups;
  • to protect themselves from abuse from unethical employees and competitors;
  • to protect their own employees; and
  • to create an environment in which workers can act in ways consistent with their values.
