The article focuses on implementing codes of ethics in business. For more than 20 years, the Royal Bank of Canada has relied on a corporate code of conduct to guide employee behaviour, according to Christina Donely, senior adviser on employee relations and policy governance. A recent survey conducted by the Canadian Centre for Ethics & Corporate Policy found that corporations that create a code of ethics are often flummoxed when it comes to turning it into more than just pieces of paper stashed away on a dusty shelf. And, as it stands, Canadian regulators don't seem much interested in how a code of conduct and ethics is implemented. For example, following in the footsteps of the corporate governance standards legislated by the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Ontario Securities Commission and the securities regulators of 10 other provinces and territories proposed a policy in mid-January calling for all public companies to adopt a written code of business conduct and ethics--or to at least explain why they don't have one. The Institute of Business Ethics in London, a charitable organization founded to encourage high standards of corporate behaviour, recommends using a framework that addresses issues as they affect different constituents of your company: shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, and the local, national and international communities.
