There is an Ethical influence on the Business objectives and Decisions: When a business becomes socially responsible it adopts an ‘ethical code’ by which it must govern itself Ethics: These are the moral guidelines by which a business or even as individual govern the decisions we make and take. Ethical Code known also as Code of Conduct: is a full document which highlights the rules and regulation by which a business governs itself.
What are examples of ethical problems that a business may face? • Keeping to a strict Ethical code can be quite costly to a business in the short term: • Using ethical or fair-trade based suppliers (Organic/Green) may increase the unit cost of a business. • Having limited or ethical based advertisement may cause sales to fall significantly. • Fixing price in order to increase profit or increasing price when the Government increases Tax.
There is a long term benefit for using ethical Code in order to run the business: • A stronger and loyal consumer based would be formed. • A good image of the business would be created. • Government subsidies maybe given to the business in the long run • Highly skilled labour maybe attracted to work for a ethical business for a lower salary.
