INTRODUCTION
Organizations are developed as a group of individuals with different goals and opinions
join together to collaborate toward a shared objective. These individuals and the company must
practice and carry out the organization's activities effectively while maintaining ethical
principles. When it comes to business, ethics are significant (Van Buren III, 2020). Using
deceptive business tactics to make money can lead to conflicts, which can harm a company's
brand identity. The formation of healthy relationships among workers is also aided by ethics and
value in the workplace. This report will aim at corporate ethics as well as how cultural and
environmental issues impact business ethics. Individuals will be seen to be conscious of their
own abilities, which will help to ensure that they are treated with respect. Finally, an
understanding of working collaboratively can be shown in the context of employee industries.

TASK 1
A) Explain the meaning of Ethics and also
discuss various factors that influence
ethics.
The values and morals that a user
holds to govern his or her own actions or
judgments are referred to as "ethics." This
code of ethics helps a corporation in making
wise choices, upholding laws, and so on. To
retain their reputation in the market and
achieve good competition, nearly every
company has an ethical code that they
follow when making decisions or carrying
out operations (Stanton, 2017). Ethics in the
company has a wide range of benefits, such

strong and supportive brand image, and so

influences, including their own internal code
of ethics, federal rules and regulations,
legislations, corporate ethical codes, social
tension, and so on.

Boohoo is an online fashion retailer
based in Manchester, United Kingdom, that
was established in 2006. During an inquiry
by the "Sunday Times" in the year 2020, the
organization was revealed to be entangled in
a scandal. The business Boohoo was linked
to modern-day slavery, according to the
investigation. The factory that manufactured
apparel to Boohoo was still only offering
£3.50 per hour. The minimum wage, on the
other hand, is £8.72 per hour. The factories
were in poor health, and the employees were
not supplied with any defense against
COVID-19. Owing to the company's
unethical activities, the company's stock fell
soon after.
When conducting industry activities
that were illegal in terms of jobs, the firm
ignored human rights as well as labor rights.
As a result of the controversy, a number of
campaign groups were created, and a
revolution was initiated. These businesses
must be kept responsible for constantly
putting profits and sales ahead of human
rights and welfare.
B) What are the importance of workplace
ethics in an organisation.
Workplace ethics refers to the rules and
procedures that make an enterprise run
smoothly while maintaining a respectful and
