INTRODUCING 
BUSINESS 
ETHICS
I 
don’t 
believe 
ethical 
behaviour 
should 
depend 
on 
its 
paying. 
To 
suggest 
that 
doing 
right 
needs 
to 
be 
justified 
by 
its 
economic 
reward 
is 
amoral, 
a 
self-inflicted 
wound 
hugely 
damaging 
to 
corporate 
reputation 
… 
Doing 
right 
because 
it 
is 
right, 
not 
because 
it 
pays, 
needs 
to 
be 
the 
foundation 
of 
business.
