Are corporations institutionalizing ethics?
Journal of Business Ethics · 1986 · Volume 5 · Issue 2
Abstract
Very little has been done to find out what corporations have done to build ethical values into their organizations. In this report on a survey of 1984Fortune1000 industrial and service companies the Center for Business Ethics reveals some facts regarding codes of ethics, ethics committees, social audits, ethics training programs, boards of directors, and other areas where corporations might institutionalize ethics. Based on the survey, the Center for Business Ethics is convinced that corporations are beginning to take steps to institutionalize ethics, while recognizing that in most cases more specific mechanisms and strategies need to be implemented to make their ethics efforts truly effective.
