== Characteristics of ethical issues ==<br />
The Institute of Business Ethics (IBE) identifies the following characteristics, to help to determine whether a business issue is an ethical issue. <br />
<br />
If one or more of these characteristics is present, it is likely to be an ethical issue:<br />
<br />
* One individual's 'right' decision about the issue may not be the same as another's 'right' decision.<br />
<br />
The issue:<br />
* raises moral questions<br />
* is not covered by law<br />
* compromises personal or organisational values<br />
* is against any code of ethics or code of practice<br />
* involves personal duties and responsibilities or<br />
* provokes the responses 'should I?' or 'ought I?'<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tests of ethical behaviour ==<br />
The IBE has identified a number of key tests to help to determine whether a course of action, or inaction, is ethical:<br />
<br />
* Is the action legal, transparent and fair?<br />
* Who will it affect?<br />
* Who benefits?<br />
<br />
