There's strong data that, within companies, the No. 1 reason for ethical violations is the pressure to meet expectations, sometimes unrealistic expectations.

Ethics reform is about restoring the public trust. When that is in doubt, nothing is more important than restoring it.

Ethical conduct is something that becomes inherent in an organization over a long period of time.

The most ethical way to deal with an unethical situation would be to simply say: 'We did something wrong.' But nobody in a family like mine would ever respond like this.
