Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Corporate codes of conduct can be legally enforced if they are made part of a procurement agreement between the corporation and the buyer. In other cases, enforcement is voluntary and subject to the corporation's internal policies and industry standards. State and local laws may provide guidance on ethical conduct, but they may not legally bind corporations to follow their codes of conduct. Similarly, industry or employer associations may offer guidance or support, but they do not have the authority to enforce codes of conduct on individual corporations.
