Good business ethics:
- Following the law — yes. It’s a basic ethical and legal requirement (though ethical standards can go beyond legal minimums).
- Ensuring proprietary information remains safe — yes. Protecting customer data, trade secrets and confidential information is responsible and ethical.
Not good business ethics:
- Hiding company assets — no. That’s deceptive and usually illegal (fraud, embezzlement).
- Suppressing transparency — generally no. Deliberately hiding information that stakeholders need for accountability is unethical (though limited confidentiality for legitimate reasons—trade secrets, privacy—is appropriate).
