Ethical Companies

May 31, 2007 / by anacoana

Ethics; is the study of values and customs of a person or group. It covers the analysis and employment of concepts a major branch of philosophy,  such as right and wrong, good and evil, and responsibility
 
 (via Latin ethica from the Ancient Greek ἠθική [φιλοσοφία] "moral philosophy", from the adjective of ἤθος ēthos "custom, habit"),
. It is divided into three primary areas: meta-ethics (the study of the concept of ethics), normative ethics (the study of how to determine ethical values), and applied ethics (the study of the use of ethical values)..  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethics

I thought to add the definition in case some readers have never read or heard about this concept. Nothing personal just that it seems lacking in the world today.

Here is a link I came across that list the winners of the World’s Most Ethical Companies.  Each forces other companies to follow its leadership or fall behind. Each uses ethical leadership as a profit driver.

Companies routinely compete for recognition for their corporate citizenship or best place to work award. And predictably, a select few pharmaceutical companies, a handful of consulting and high-tech firms, and a couple of retailers appear near the top of the list.

However...2007 rankings of the World’s Most Ethical Companies, the researchers and editors of Ethisphere examined more than 5,000 companies across 30 separate industries looking for true ethical leadership.
