What does it mean to you for a business to be ethical?
To use fair trade practices and to do what is right, not just what
is profitable.
A business should be transparent, sustainable and good for the
economy.
It should use methods of business it doesnt need to conceal from
the general public and stockholders.
It must do substantially more good than harm.
It practices humane treatment for workers as well as utilizing
honest/open business tactics at every level of the production
process.
