Ethical and Socially Responsive BusinessI believe that every business should encourage a relationship of trust, loyalty, honesty and responsibility among staff members at all levels. It is important that every member of staff works together to achieve excellence in a company, therefore the code of conduct is put in place. The purpose of the code is to provide guidance and establish common ethical standards for employees from the top to the bottom of the food chain. Some of the areas that I believe are of significant importance in a company are sexual harassment, discrimination, and simply being professional in a work environment. Sexual Harassment Prohibited Chick-fil-a wants to provide a safe and positive work environment for all employees, whether male or female. Sexual harassment, unwanted verbal or nonverbal sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical behavior of a sexual nature will not be tolerated and is considered a form of gender-based discrimination. The law prohibits sexual harassment by the supervisor's co-workers and even by people who are not employees of the company. The company has a duty to keep its workplace free from harassment. Discrimination Prohibited Chick-fil-a firmly believes that employees and applicants for employment should be treated without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, sex orientation, gender identity, disability, status of veteran, genetic information, or any other prohibited basis. Chick-fil-A released a statement in July 2012 stating, "Moving forward, our intent is to leave the political debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena.

In conclusion, the code of conduct is very important in a company and is intended to be a central guidance and reference for users to support daily decision making was intended to clarify an organization's mission, values ​​and principles, linking them to standards of professional conduct. Some of the principles and standards I talk about related to sexual harassment, l 'be professional and discrimination in other ways in which employees can follow the code conduct occurs through ethics training, the establishment and compliance with policies and procedures and the inclusion of ethical behavior in daily life.
