A/Comprehension Read the text carefully then do the activities:
Business ethics is the study of appropriate business policies and practices regarding potentially
controversial subjects including corporate governance, insider trading, bribery, discrimination,
corporate social responsibility, and fiduciary responsibilities. The law often guides business
ethics, but at other times business ethics provide a basic guideline that businesses can choose to
follow to gain public approval.
Business ethics ensure that a certain basic level of trust exists between consumers and various
forms of market participants with businesses. For example, a portfolio manager must give the
same consideration to the portfolios of family members and small individual investors. These
kinds of practices ensure the public receives fair treatment.
