“Join the Business Ethics Pledge - Ten Years to Change the World, One Signature at a Time (please tell your friends), http://www.business-ethics-pledge.org.”
I saw this signature line on Shel Horowitz’s posts (see www.frugalmarketing.com for great books on general business marketing and his newest book, Grassroots Marketing for Authors and Publishers) on the publishing groups I belong to, as well as on his individual emails. I was always intrigued, but I just today took a few moments to check out his website.
As it turns out, the business ethics pledge is as good as it sounds. Embracing the principal of abundance, it states:
I pledge allegiance, in my heart and soul, to the concepts of honesty, integrity, and quality in business. I recognize that the cornerstone of success is treating all stakeholders fairly, with compassion, and with a commitment to service. Working from abundance, I recognize that even my competitors can become important allies. I will not tolerate crooked practices in my business, from co-workers, direct or indirect reports, supervisors, managers, suppliers, or anyone else—and if I encounter such practices, I will refuse to go along with them and report them to appropriate authorities within and outside the company. I pledge to support the “triple bottom line” of environmental, social, and financial responsibility. And I pledge to participate in a serious effort to focus the business community on these principles, by sharing this message with at least 100 other business leaders.
So, please take a moment to check out his website and pass the word along. http://www.business-ethics-pledge.org. The site promises not to sell your contact information, and this is one place you know they’ll keep their word.
