Multiple Choice

An established code of ethics benefits a company's ______ as much as its employees.

A code of ethics shapes how a company behaves with the outside world, especially with customers. When it commits to truthful advertising, fair pricing, protecting privacy, safety, and respectful handling of complaints, those standards directly affect what customers experience. Honest information, reliable products and services, fair treatment, and swift resolution of issues build trust and satisfaction. That immediate impact on the customer relationship is why customers are the primary beneficiaries. Employees also benefit from clear ethical guidance, but the most direct, observable benefits come from how ethics influence external interactions with customers.
