Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A code of ethics is a formal statement of an organization's values and ethical principles that guide decision making and behavior in situations susceptible to ethical dilemmas. It serves as a framework for ethical decision making and helps to ensure that all individuals within an organization operate in a consistent and responsible manner. Corporate social responsibility refers to an organization's obligations to consider the interests of society in its operations and decision making, while management guidelines, employee mandates, and employee handbooks may provide important information and guidance, but are not typically focused specifically on ethical principles and decision making.
