corporate ethics and compliance programs
Definition
- Corporate ethics and legal compliance programs are formal programs aimed at managing the ethical and legal conduct of a company's employees. Although companies such as J.C. Penney have had codes of conduct since the early 1900s, the history of more complex ethics and legal compliance programs can be traced to the 1980s and the Defense Industry Initiative on Business Conduct and Ethics (DII).
