Thoughtful and effective corporate codes provide guidance for making ethical business decisions that balance conflicting interests.An organization can further improve its ethical track record by assuring that it has clear and credible statements of values and standards of conduct.

When supplemented with quality training, those values and standards can clarify expectations and reduce misconduct resulting from ignorance or misinterpretations of laws or company policies.

The objective of such programs is to establish a business culture in which its easier to do the right thing than the wrong thing, and where concerned coworkers and vigilant supervisors repress illegal or improper conduct that can potentially endanger or embarrass the company.
