BUSINESS ETHICS

According to a new business discipline called Corporate Social Responsibility, the major ethical responsibilities of a company in respect of its staff and the community are:

• To serve society with useful products and upon fair conditions.
• To generate wealth in the most efficient way possible.
• To respect human rights through fair and proper working conditions so as to promote labor security and health as well as the human and professional development of workers
• To secure the company's continuity and, if possible, to achieve a reasonable growth
• To respect the environment avoiding, as much as possible, any type of pollution through the minimization of the waste generation and rationalizing the natural and energy resources.
• To strictly comply with all laws, regulations, customs and usages, by performing legal contracts and the commitments undertaken.
• To secure the equitable distribution of the wealth generated.

The definition may seem embracing and each of its points seem to have already been stated in the objectives and values of infoBIZ, as well as in the purposes, views and missions that we may read in the leaflets and websites of thousands and thousands of companies.

Ethics is, however, much more related to a question of everyday life than to a theoretical one. Business ethics as it is respected and applied by infoBIZ can be perceived and verified in the relationships with its Suppliers, Clients, contributors and employees. It is much more than a theoretical question, it is a practice performed action after action, day after day.
