Ethics isn't just about not getting caught.

Severe lack of ethics in public and corporate life.
Ethics isn’t just about not getting caught out.

There does seem to be a severe shortage of ethics in British life and in particular in British companies these days.
Ethics isn’t just about not breaking the law, or not getting caught.
And with good enough corporate lawyers on the payroll who is to say what is illegal anymore.
No ethics is recognising that paying tax to the state is not optional and is in fact a duty to the people and the shareholders.
Too often we here of company’s bosses and staff raking in millions of bonuses and shareholders doing nicely whilst the tax man goes away short changed.
Paying corporate taxes lightens the burden on ordinary tax payers and could help pay for vital social infrastructure projects.

Shareholders of companies are individuals or institution investing money on our behalf and these corporations creating a poorer society or destroying the planet whilst doing it just isn’t ethical.

Creating jobs in this country for our people who after all are ultimately the owners through shareholding or pensions is ethical.

Paying living wages and not destroying the planet are equally ethical.

Recognising trades unions, a fundamental human right to be able to collectivise is also ethical.

Ensuring that producers of food stuffs receive a fair reward for their efforts is ethical.

Paying taxes to the government is ethical.

Most of the bosses of British companies do not appear to be able to even spell the word ethical.
WHOOPS there goes your knighthood mate!

You might think so but I couldn’t possibly comment.
