Exhibiting ethical business is vital for all executives. It helps shape the organizational culture, establishes the organization’s reputation, ensures legal compliance, and builds employee morale and loyalty. All these reasons ultimately strengthen the organization’s operational and financial strength.

The challenges of operating ethically are even greater and more complex in today’s globalized and interconnected world. Differing cultural values and understandings of ethical actions and differing legislation and requirements of organizations must be navigated.
