Organizational ethics begins at the top, and the leadership and example of strong managers can help instill corporate values in employees. More and more companies have adopted written codes of ethics. Trust and cooperation between workers and managers must be based on fairness, honesty, openness, and moral integrity. The same applies to relationships among businesses and between nations. Compliance-based ethics codes emphasize preventing unlawful behavior by increasing control and penalizing wrongdoers. Integrity-based ethics codes define the organization's guiding values, create an environment that supports ethically sound behavior, and stress shared accountability.
