1. How is business ethics linked with Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR)?
Business Ethics has a big role in Corporate Social Responsibility
as it forms out somewhat different territory having to do with issues like honesty, rights, equity and the exercise of corporate power towards the society. Business Ethics considering the responsibilities and obligations not only to stockholders or towards the workplace but also within the scope of society and to the environment. It is very important to have a business ethics in the Corporate social responsibility because you’re not only focusing on the company internally but having it, teaches you on how to be amenable in your surrounding as well as in social group. Every organization takes moral obligation towards society. CSR is one of such moral obligation. Means corporations should not be the cause of concern for environment pollution as I mentioned earlier. Doing business without harming any others and the environment are the moral responsibility of corporations towards society. Whatever positive things corporate get from society are to be returned back in a most optimistic way by the corporate. This relationship between business ethics and corporate social responsibility as any ethical company must abide by the rules of society and as a good citizen. Business ethics and CSR linked together because they cannot be separable, if you want a business that does behave ethically and want to contribute to economic development while improving quality of life you must linked it together to have a better organization in the future.
2. How is business ethics linked with Good Governance?
Business Ethics are part of good governance, throughout the years
of trade and business became a primary way of life of by the people. In recorded history, trade has been a significant contributor to the development of individual communities and of society in general. Business reputation and ethics have played a role in that improvement. The bigger the business entity becomes some form of governance is necessarily. Businesses whether they are sole proprietorship, partnership or corporations need to assured that they are maintaining business practices that guarantee business ethics and trustworthiness to their customers. Example in the early 1980s, cyanide was discovered in bottles of Tylenol in the Chicago area. The poisoning was intentional, rather than an industrial accident. McNeil Laboratories, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, was the manufacturer. When they learned of the danger to the public, they did the right thing—the ethical thing. They recalled every bottle of Tylenol on the shelves of every store that sold them, and they replaced them with newly redesigned tamper-proof packaging (https://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/23/your-money/IHT- tylenol-made-a-hero-of-johnson-johnson-the-recall-that-started.html). This is the best way example of a company that have a GOOD GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS! because Good Corporate Governance with business ethics are the key to growing profits and reputation of each company.
