Corporate Use of Codes of Ethics: 2004 survey


New IBE Publication available from 24th February 2005

Corporate Use of Codes of Ethics: 2004 survey by Simon Webley and Martin Le Jeune

How do companies use and implement their codes of ethics?

This report reveals the findings of the fourth IBE survey sent to the CEOs of FTSE 250 companies with codes. It shows:

  • the ways in which companies seek to maximise the effectiveness of their codes
  • trends in the rationale for codes
  • the ethical issues perceived as most important for business

The report provides a guide to managers wishing to understand current practice and mechanisms for implementing and embedding codes of ethics. 'Corporate Use of Codes of Ethics' also includes information on the way companies measure the effectiveness of their codes with examples of how mm02 and HBOS make their codes work in their organisations

The report was launched on 24th February at IBE's offices by Ken Rushton, who until recently was Director of Listings at the FSA and a former director of IBE. You can read Ken Rushton's speech here >> Simon Webley then described the main features of the survey and commented on their implications.
