Business ethics wikipedia

Business ethics (also known as corporate ethics) is a form of applied ethics or professional ethics, that examines ethical principles and moral or ethical problems that can arise in a business environment.
It applies to all aspects of business conduct and is relevant to the conduct of individuals and entire organizations.

Organizational ethics express the values of an organization to its employees and/or other entities irrespective of governmental and/or regulatory laws.
Ethics are the principles and values used by an individual to govern their actions and decisions.
