I. INTRODUCTION.
Code of ethics is a guide of principles, as a "Constitution of Company" to guide
employee’s behaviour. An ethical document outlines a series of principles that
based on the core values of organization and influence decision-making. It works
on the basis of "treat others as you would like to be treated".

Crown Resorts is one of the largest entertainment groups in Australia. It is a major
contributor to the Australian economy. But according to the Australian Financial
Review has editorialised, the inquiry has revealed “a litany of extraordinary events,
remarkable management failures, a bullying culture and an appalling lack of
corporate governance. Therefore, the code of ethics is very important to solve the
above problem. Which sets the highest standards of lawfully, ethically, honesty and
responsibility required of everyone at Crown Resorts Limited.

III. EXPLOITATION.

1. Definition.

Exploiting someone is to take advantage or tend to take advantage of them. It is to
use the vulnerability of another person or a group for one’s own benefit. However,
the benefit from the vulnerability of others is not always morally wrong - for

weaknesses in defences. In this case, exploitation is the act of taking the benefits
from work.

money there.
