Building Defenses: A Company Ethics Program

 

Learn guidelines for preparing your own ethics program.

Programs and systems defining corporate ethical choices do not guarantee that a corporation (or its employees) will behave always in an ethical manner. That said, without a meaningful corporate ethics program it is much more likely that ethical breaches will occur. Those corporate stewards who desire to lead an ethical operation must implement systematic defenses that will curtain unethical conduct. This white paper reviews why ethics must be a top-down affair and why there is a need for a clear code of ethics.
