by by by by by by by by by by by



ethicalguideline for behavior. In deciding whether an action is right or wrong, or desirable
by b
y by by by by by by by by by by by by by



or undesirable, a person should evaluate the action in terms of what would happen if

everybody else in the same situation, or category, acted the same way.
by by by by by by by by by by by by



corporate social responsibility (CSR): The concept that corporations can and should
by by by by by by by by by by



actethically and be accountable to society for their actions.
by b
y by by by by by by by by

by by by by by by by by by by by



givenaction against the benefits of the action.
by b
y by by by by by by

by by by by by by by by by by by by by



dutiesto others, including both humans and the planet. Those duties may be derived from
by b
