Making sure that key business decisions make good economic sense irrespective of their social costs and risks

Explanation:

Ethics are the principle that guide the conducts and behavior of man. It aims at enforcing what is good for human being and the society at large. This is achieved through a well laid out principles, value and rules that can be used as a benchmark for conducts, thus allowing consistency and awareness of actions.

It is grouped into three namely virtue, consequentialist and duty based.

Any action that does not consider social cost or related risks to the society is not in good line with ethics value.
