A company’s ethics will determine its
reputation. Good business ethics are essential for the long-term success of an
organization. Implementing an ethical program will foster a successful company
culture and increase profitability. Developing a Business Ethics program takes
time and effort, but doing so will do more than improve business, it will
change lives.
A company’s ethics will have an
influence on all levels of business. It will influence all who interact with
the company including customers, employees, suppliers, competitors, etc. All of
these groups will have an effect on the way a company’s ethics are developed.
It is a two-way street; the influence goes both ways, which makes understanding
ethics a very important part of doing business today. Ethics is very important,
as news can now spread faster and farther than ever before.
