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.
