Business ethics is not a new concept, but since the Enron and WorldCom scandals of 2002, more attention has been paid to ethics in business (or the lack thereof) than ever before. Although minor changes were subsequently legislated regarding corporate governance, disclosure and accounting procedures, it has been generally recognized that business ethics is more than compliance with the law and requires a major shift in corporate culture. Business ethics now means conducting all aspects of business and dealing with all stakeholders (employees, partners, clients, shareholders, suppliers, the communities, and natural environments in which businesses operate), in an ethical manner. The broad term business ethics thus includes the concepts of corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate sustainability, and corporate citizenship.
