Utilizing the resources provided in this unit, your own experiences, and trusted internet sources, consider an example of an ethical organization and answer the following questions:
1. What is the nature of the organization?
2. What activity or practice leads you to consider that organization ethical?
3. What ethical theory or principle did you apply to determine if it was ethical?
Be sure to include the source of your information and focus on
current organizations rather than past cases.
The ethical organization that I selected to discuss is L’Oréal. I love cosmetics and can completely stand behind this organization. “For more than 20 years, the company has worked to reduce CO2 emissions related to its industrial activities. By 2025, 100% of all sites will be carbon neutral” (Gemeš, 2023). Additionally, the company is a 14-time honoree recognized by Ethisphere as one of the world’s most ethical companies (L’Oreal, 2023). Not only do they hold themselves accountable to their standards, but they demand the same from their suppliers through a Mutual Ethical Commitment Letter. The ethical principles they follow are Integrity, Respect, Courage and Transparency.
Gemeš, N. (2023, August 10).

As there are several initiatives that can be used for an organization, two key ones for my organization are a code of conduct and ethics training workshops. Organizations frequently create a code of conduct outlining anticipated ethical behavior. This allows employees to have a resource to learn about the organization's principles and standards. A code of conduct establishes explicit norms and expectations for employees, resulting in an organization-wide knowledge of ethical behavior (Ferrell et al., 2016). The code of conduct may not be enough for comprehensive ethics training because it does not address unique ethical quandaries that employees face in their roles. Organizations may hold ethics-focused workshops or training sessions. These courses can cover a variety of issues, including ethical decision-making, conflicts of interest, and dealing with sensitive material. Workshops provide participatory learning and discussion, allowing employees to…

An Ethical Dilemma

Jayla was hired by Deon, the head of the Payroll Department.

Jayla was determined to learn as much as she could about the job. She made sure she was always on time, followed all of the policies and procedures, and got along well with her co-workers.
