Chapter 2, Additional Exercise 2: Finding a Code of Conduct on a Website

Try to find a code of conduct on the website of a large or important company in a field related to your major. Start by generating a list of keywords you might use to search the site, including ethics, code, and conduct. Does the company have an easy-to-find code that addresses its employees' legal and ethical obligations, as discussed in Chapter 2 of the textbook? Or does the company discuss only related topics, such as community relations, community affairs, philanthropy, the environment, or privacy? Quickly review the company's ethics materials. What initial impression of the company's interest in ethics do you get from this brief exercise? Be prepared to share your findings with the class.
