, 1. Integrity
The appropriateness of a corporation's behaviour and its adherence to moral guidelines
acceptable to society such as honesty, fairness, and justice.
•
• Rationale: Integrity functions as the foundational pillar of ethical business operations. It
bridges the gap between legal compliance and societal expectations by aligning corporate
behavior with deeper values of honesty and justice, which directly builds long-term
institutional reputation.
2. Ethics of Business
The rules, standards, codes, or principles that provide guidance for morally appropriate
behaviour in managerial decision making relating to the operation of the business enterprise's
and business' relationship with society.
•
• Rationale: Business ethics serve as the operational framework for decision-making.
Unlike personal morality, business ethics structurally institutionalize rules and codes
(such as corporate policies) to navigate complex commercial dilemmas and balance a
firm's responsibilities to external stakeholders.
3. Stakeholder
An individual, group, or organization who may affect, be affected by, or perceive itself to be
affected by a decision, activity, or outcome of a project.
•
• Rationale: The stakeholder concept shifts corporate focus away from a strict shareholder-
only view (maximizing profits) toward a broader ecosystem approach. This spectrum
includes employees, suppliers, customers, and local communities, all of whom hold an
explicit interest or risk in corporate actions.
