SETTING YOUR ETHICAL COMPASS

摘要

Looking at the daily news headlines, you'll notice that the "ethics" adhered to by many companies worldwide have been under severe scrutiny and in some cases have brought public uproar. At the same time, there's also a powerfully growing movement for better ethical management and recognition for companies that adhere to the highest ethical standards. Customers are beginning to recognize the significance of this movement. Many companies are responding by positioning themselves to capitalize from the implementation of strict ethical standards.rnThe purpose of this article is not to point out areas of our industry where folks are not operating ethically (such as where outright fraud is being practiced) but rather to explain how to make sure everyone in an operation truly is keeping to an ethical code. When it comes to ethics, everyone is accountable, everything counts and everyone must "walk the talk."
