GARZON-CASTRILLON, Manuel A.  y  PEREZ-ROMERO, Luis A.. Considerations regarding the code of business ethics for companies affiliated with AMAV-Mexico. Orinoquia [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.2, pp.87-101. ISSN 0121-3709.

This article advances some considerations regarding a code of business ethics, based on the degree of importance apportioned by companies affiliated to AMAV-Mexico, orientated towards integrating an ethical approach which is sustainable with a business economic model regarding the environment and social development concerning business matters. It would thus provide the necessary tools for implementing such sustainable approach in small- and medium-sized companies (SMSC). It should be born in mind that SMSC codes of ethics can become an effective means of institutionalising ethics within organisations if they are presented as a clear and defined expression of their shared values. This article is aimed at showing that their usefulness is closely linked to the development of the merits of the people involved, a suitable communication policy and firm leadership, committed to the moral values reflecting the sustainable moral conduct of those who work in SMSC.

Palabras clave : ethics; business ethics; code of business ethics.
