Answer 2

There is law, and there are ethics.
The law must, of course, be complied with, but ethics go beyond it.
Ethics, the "very basics" :
1. The product must be precisely as advertised or specified.
2. Environmental damage must be avoided or minimized.
3. Employees and neighbors must be protected from any dangers in the processes used.
4. The user must be warned of any hazards posed by the product.
5. Employees should be compensated on the basis of 'value added`, not on the basis of how cheaply labor can be purchased in the prevailing market.
