In today’s complex and rapidly changing global economic environment, business ethics and corporate social responsibility (CSR) have become essential pillars that determine organizational success and sustainability. Businesses are no longer solely profit-driven; organizations are now obligated to balance economic interests with their responsibilities toward society, the environment, employees, and various stakeholders. Recent studies show that companies embracing strong ethics and CSR practices enjoy higher customer trust, greater employee loyalty, and enhanced corporate reputation, which strengthens their ability to achieve sustainable growth in competitive markets.

Business ethics encompasses the principles and values guiding employee and management behavior at all organizational levels, while CSR refers to corporate commitments to society and the environment, including improving working conditions, protecting the environment, supporting local communities, and contributing to sustainable development. Integrating strong ethics with effective CSR programs fosters a positive work environment, benefits both the organization and society, and ensures compliance with laws and international standards.
