This book, which is written by those who specialise in or are closely involved in the field of business ethics, seeks, first, to highlight how important it is for companies to address ethical issues and second, how firms can in practise go about addressing those issues.

“this is an important book. There is much more to running a business than just creating shareholder value and this book explores the wider agenda that companies who are ‘building for the long term’ should explore with determination” – Sir John Egan, Chairman, Inchcape plc.

“the concepts of business ethics and corporate social responsibility are commanding increasing public attention. This book sheds valuable light on an area that has become a critical consideration for business, as well as providing useful practical advice to organisation on developing and implementing their ethical standards” – George Cox, Director General, Institute of Directors.
