Forward-thinking business people around the world and from diverse public and private industry sectors now recognise that the 2000-year-old debate about ethics and commerce should be addressed.

This book is a guide to assist managers by answering the question: How can you create an ethical working environment? Its purpose is to clarify the significant role you as a manager play in creating an ethical working environment for yourself, your staff, your organisation and your stake-holders by considering eight simple steps.
