"my first and current job is to create contracts with hotels, restaurants and all stakeholders present in the tourism sector. From my first day at work I always tried to be honest and transparent with my suppliers whilst of course always trying to achieve the financial goals of my company. Even though combining the two was sometimes a challenge, in the end I was rewarded in both areas! !This happened not so long ago when the manager of a large Italian hotel chain decided to confirm a big contract with us, taking away share from our competitors, he justified his decision by saying:
“Just” live your values and who you are

“Another kind” of Manifesto The Generation M Manifesto Umair Haque (Harvard Business Review)
Ethical production. Innovation turns a blind eye to ethics — or, worse, actively denies ethics. That's a natural result of putting entrepreneurship above all. Buy low, sell high, create value. That's so 20th century. Awesome stuff is produced ethically — in fact, without an ethical component, awesomeness isn't possible. Starbucks is shifting to Fair Trade coffee beans, for example. Why? Starbucks isn't just trying to innovate yet another flavour of sugar-water: it's trying to gain awesomeness.
Love. You know what's funny about walking into an Apple Store? The people working there care. They don't just "work at the Apple store" — they love Apple. Contrast that with the alienating, soul-crushing experience of trying to buy something at Best Buy — where salespeople attack you out of greed

Proposal for a code of ethics
Paolo Russo
ebbf.org / Daniel Truran www.eoi.es
Strengthening through code of ethics
“Our Code of Ethics aims to be a set of principles that remarks both the identity of the organization and the values
that inspire the day by day activities of the whole group. !
This code aims to be a promise of integrity for all the stakeholders that will interact with our company,
demonstrating an extraordinary commitment to work along a profound sense of ethical business practices.”
ebbf.org / Daniel Truran www.eoi.es
Benefits of code of ethics
“- to define accepted/acceptable behaviors; !
- to promote high standards of practice;
- to provide a benchmark for the other members of our network !
- to empower people and stimulate their motivation !
- to establish a framework for professional behavior and responsibilities; !
- to increase the awareness of each employees by involving them into the process; !
- This code will represent an additional advantage towards our competitors considering that intangible capital and reputation are the main assets of a
consultancy/advisory firm firm.”
ebbf.org / Daniel Truran www.eoi.es
Steps towards a code of ethics“1. Understand the purposeThe main question is: what is our purpose/objective by creating this code?
!2. Review your identity Spend time to understand your identity and your mission as organization. The code of ethics comes from a deep
comprehension of the role of the company into the business community.
3. Find out what bothers peopleCopying a code from another organization will not suffice. It is important to find out on what topics employees require guidance, to be clear what issues are of concern
to stakeholders and what issues are material to your business activities, locations and sector.
MAKE A QUESTIONNAIRE TO YOUR EMPLOYEES and learn which kind of organization they would like to work for.
!4. Collect the inputs and put into the framework After the questionnaire and perhaps after discussions with the employees, it will be the time to insert all the
relevant information into the framework that you have already prepared. A good way is to match the view of
the top managers of the firm with the needs and ideas coming from the other employees.
!5. Review Plan a process of regular reviews that will take account of changing business environments, strategy, stakeholder concerns and social expectations, new standards, and strengths and weakness in your ethical performance.”
ebbf.org / Daniel Truran www.eoi.es
Flow towards a code of ethics
