Business ethics

As defined by the Institute of Business Ethics, business ethics 'relates to how an organisation conducts its business in order to make a profit or achieve other goals. It is about how the organisation does what it does, and the choices its employees make.'

Under this definition, business ethics are a part of ethical business, but ethical business is a broader concept which includes and goes beyond business ethics, as defined above.
