Ethics at its Finest
Ethics in the business world are not always something that are looked upon highly. However that is not the case for a small business called VirusBuster. Ethics are something that the company holds very highly. They have called upon ethics to increase their business since the beginning.
Virus Buster was awarded for their effots and ethics by receiving the Business Ethics Price, an award received for responsible and ethical actions. This method of rewarding actions goes along with the Incentive method in the chapter about pollution. If more businesses were excited and happy to receive these awards then their may be a chance for more healthy competition in an ethical way. Not all businesses will care about ethical awards but I believe they are a great incentive. They will help to showcase the ethics of the company and show customers and business partners that the business cares about more than just profit.
Hopefully we start to see more of this as business organizations have started to place more and more importance on ethics and the impact it has on long term financial success. Sometimes, ethical behaviors may not reward the here and now but will ultimately pay off in the long run. Increased foresight and integral thinking are trends that can help reverse the economic slide we have seen in recent years.
