Doing What's “Right”
- The four essential elements for businesses to "do the right thing" are: business law, ethical decision-making, core values, and corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Business Law
- Businesses must operate within the boundaries of the law, adhering to legal regulations, including labor laws, the Uniform Commercial Code, environmental protection regulations, and industry-specific rules.
Ethical Decision Making
- Businesses must address ethical choices considering both internal and external factors, and utilize ethical standards, such as utilitarianism, individualism, moral rights, justice, impartiality, and full disclosure.
Core Values
- These are the fundamental principles that guide behavior and action, reflecting the expected conduct of all employees.
- Core values are essential for establishing ethical behavior, but they should be reinforced by example and action.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
- CSR involves recognizing and proactively responding to stakeholder needs and expectations.
- Stakeholders can include customers, suppliers, distributors, employees, and communities.
- Implementing CSR successfully requires a responsible approach by leaders, exemplified by acting as role models, demonstrating empathy, and creating a broader vision.
