Companies Implementation Of Business Ethics
Program:
Several companies in Corporate America that experienced
a corporate scandal have since decided to implement a
values-based approach to transform the company from the
top down. A KPMG “2005-2006 Integrity Survey” across over
4,000 US employees, spanning all levels of positions, industries,
and job functions reported the effectiveness of Business Ethics

Simply having a code of ethics does not equate to an effective
ethics program. There are six factors that contribute to an
effective program:

4. Means to report misconduct anonymously
5. Discipline of employees who violate ethical standards
