First of all; if we want to generate profit and be managed for the benefit of our
stakeholders ; we’d better avoid engaging in any business activities which may endanger

immoral ; such investment will give a bad reputation to our company. In addition to this; it’s
very important to provide our employees with the best conditions of work I mean healthy
and safety conditions in their workplace. So; as long as we balance our financial profit and
our social responsibility towards the whole community; our business will prosper.

Finally ; let me remind you that business ethics has is no longer a choice ; it has become
an obligation.
