- Description:
- Legal and Regulatory Frameworks play a key role in defining how organizations conduct themselves, but ethics can enhance these frameworks by guiding the behaviors and decision-making processes of employees that are beyond Legal and Regulatory Control.
- Even small decisions may have a significant impact, and being able to act and make decisions in an ethical manner is important from the perspective of personal integrity, but it is also of enormous value to the success and good governance of the organizations for which we work.
- Good ethical decision-making can enhance an organization’s reputation with customers, regulators, and other important stakeholders.
- Good ethics also provide a strong foundation for effective Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) (now referred to as ESG: Environmental, Social and Governance) and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) practices, at the individual and organizational levels.
