1.Introduction
Ethics in business are based on following principles:
Honesty, Integrity, Promise-Keeping & Trustworthiness, Loyalty, Fairness, Concern for Others,
Respect for Others, Law Abiding.
People who are obsessed with wealth accumulation, greed, power , status and other selfish
interests are often push ethical principles aside for their quest for personal gain.
Ethical principles provide the foundations for various modern concepts for work, business
and organisations, which broaden individual and corporate priorities far beyond traditional
business aims of profit and shareholder enrichment. Ethical factors are also a significant
influence on institutions and public sector organisations, for whom the traditional priorities
of service quality and cost management must now increasingly take account of these
same ethical considerations affecting the commercial and corporate world.

Philosophers today usually divide ethical theories into three general subject areas: meta
ethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics. Meta ethics investigates where our ethical
principles come from, and what they mean.
Warren Buffett said: "We look for three things when we hire people. We look for
intelligence, we look for initiative or energy, and we look for integrity. And if they
don't have the latter, the first two will kill you, because if you're going to get
someone without integrity, you want them lazy and dumb.
Warren Buffett is the founder of the Berkshire Hathaway company and currently world’s 4th
richest man alive.
