Business code of ethics

Sandy Cline

June 20 2014

For my business, the ethical code will be made up of several rules and principles but the most important of all is integrity. I prefer integrity to be the main code of ethic because in workplace it promotes teamwork and productivity and that is what makes business to succeed.

Integrity

Integrity brings about honest and truthfulness with workers and customers. People of integrity can be trusted and they will make the business succeed.

Safety

Business equipments and materials should be handled according to the business safety standards, this will promote safe working environment. Every worker has responsibility of maintaining a safe working place to avoid injuries and unsafe conditions.

Discrimination and harassment

The company will not allow any form of discrimination or harassment. If a worker is found engaging in such activities, he/she will be punished according to the organization rules.

Price fixing

Workers should not discuss prices or make any kind of agreement with the competitors in regard to prices or any business terms. Such discussion and agreements are inconsistent with antitrust laws.

Use of drugs and alcohol

At no time a worker should be in possession or under influence of drugs and alcohol at work. Before any worker is employed, they will be first subjected to drugs and alcohol test to ascertain whether he/she is an alcohol or drug addict. Alcohol alters the working of the mind and brings unprofessional behavior.
