What is ethical behaviour?
In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.- Immanuel Kant
Ethics in the workplace
“We need timeless principles to steer by in running our organizations and building our personal careers. We need high standards . . . the ethics of excellence.”- Price Pritchett
“Ethics is not definable, is not implementable, because it is not conscious; it involves not only our thinking, but also our feeling.”- Valdemar W. Setzer
“An ethical person ought to do more than he's required to do and less than he's allowed to do”- Bertrand Russell
Social entrepreneur
"An idea is like a play. It needs a good producer and a good promoter even if it is a masterpiece. Otherwise the play may never open; or it may open but, for a lack of an audience, close after a week. Similarly, an idea will not move from the fringes to the mainstream simply because it is good; it must be skillfully marketed before it will actually shift people's perceptions and behavior." ― David Bornstein
Corporate Governance
"Good corporate governance is about 'intellectual honesty' and not just sticking to rules and regulations, capital flowed towards companies that practiced this type of good governance." - Mervyn King (Chairman: King Report)
Ethics code of conduct
