The Significance of Ethics & Code of Conduct

While upholding an environmental responsibility is important, it is crucial that businesses consider their social responsibilities. As such, developing and implementing ethics and a code of conduct is essential for a business.

Why is a Ethics and Code of Conduct important?

While it takes time and effort to develop an ethics and code of conduct, it's an investment with many benefits:

• Help employees and consumers understand the rights and responsibilities businesses offer
• Allow transparency and honesty in how things are managed and conducted, which is critical feedback for ways to improve your business
• Offes strong insights into the company's values, mission, and principles?
• Buils credibility with the public, creates a safe space for employees, and gives consumers confidence to support your business

• Brainstorm values and words that speak to who you are as a business
• Plan for a full 12 month period to test drive your mission and code of conduct
• Make sure to abide by the mission statement and values to guide you and your team on how to manage the business
• If employees are overseas, ensure you are following or improving the workforce guidelines and ethics implemented
