We do not seek perfection, knowing full well that it is not among people; However, we are looking for such a (...) managerial constitution, the shortcomings of which would be most deserving of understanding.
Algernon Sidney / dr Artur Smolik
this quote is from the Constitution of Freedom, Friedrich A. von Hayek
Each social group can develop and raise the standards of its activities if it has reference points in relation to or in accordance with which it can operate. States have constitutions, that is, the highest legal acts, and social groups a catalog of ethical behavior standards that define the manner of conduct and behavior.
We cordially invite you to implement the rules and the idea of the Code of Managerial Ethics as a confirmation that the management staff in your companies operates transparently, having the highest priority of key stakeholder groups within business processes.
If you need support in the process of implementing the principles of managerial ethics, write to us , we will help.
