Hi,
Ethics is usually discussed with respect to business, but also applies to situations of right and wrong - usually without any religious implications. Morals an the other hand, usually have to do with the religious view of good or bad.

Ethics (from the Ancient Greek ἠθικός or "ethikos" meaning "Theory of living") is one of the five major branches of philosophy, which attempts to understand the nature of morality; to distinguish that which is right from that which is wrong. The Western tradition of ethics is sometimes called moral philosophy. Ethics in plain words means studying and analyzing right from wrong; good from bad.

( morals ) a sense of right and wrong, or a standard of behavior based on this, especially in relation to sexual conduct
