“Those responsible for business enterprises are responsible to society for the economic and ecological effects of their operations.[217] They have an obligation to consider the good of persons and not only the increase of profits. Profits are necessary, however. They make possible

the investments that ensure the future of a business and they guarantee employment.”

Clearly, business decisions entail moral demands, but are good business and good morality compatible in success? Many have accomplished excellent moral conduct and principles in business, but many still ask: WHY BE GOOD? Why adhere to this code of morality? Drastic measures have been tried over the course of history of business to keep its integrity but do moral practices really lead to positive changes in industry?

The first step toward examining business outlook towards morality is to recognize that all business decisions entail moral decisions. For example, moral decisions in business regarding the workers: All human beings have natural rights either endowed by their Creator or inherent in their nature, and have a moral obligation to respect the rights of others. Business outlook towards morality concerns itself with how other people are affected in both positive and negative ways. Almost always, business decisions affect many more people than simply those directly involved in the business transaction. Therefore, corporate code of ethics is aimed at large towards the welfare of those people who are both directly or indirectly involved in the operation.
