SET UP- phone lines should be established so that employees who don't want to be seen with an ethics officer can inquire about ethical matters anonymously. Often pressure to put aside ethical considerations comes from the outside. It helps employees resist such pressure when everyone knows what the ethical standards are.

Many people get a one-sided view of the impact that companies have on society.
Few people see the positive impacts, such as the commitments of many companies to volunteerism. In a recent survey, two-thirds of the MBA students surveyed said that they would take a lower salary to work for a socially responsible company. Social responsibility is seen differently through the eyes of various stakeholders to whom businesses are responsible. Business is responsible to satisfy customers with goods and services of real value. Pleasing the customer is not as easy as it seems.
