Abstract

The last 10–15 years have been characterized by a tremendous development in the ethics and law of values-driven management and corporate responsibility in the United States (US), Europe (EU) and the rest of the world. Many modern corporations have introduced ethics and compliance programmes and values-driven management taking all the firm’s stakeholders into account. In many cases reporting procedures and accountability programmes for corporate and social values are introduced into the organization. The corporate boards see them as a means to ensure not only the responsibility and integrity of the organization but also efficient management, competitiveness and legitimacy of the firm in a complex democratic society.
