Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What organizes, connects, or makes decisions possible.
A code of ethics collects values and principles that guide decisions and conduct in an organization or profession.
Such codes grew from the need to make moral expectations explicit in shared work. Ethics is a long-established philosophical discipline; ISO 26000 translates responsible conduct into organizational guidance without a single originator of this concept.
A code is a compass with three steps: it names values, translates them into expected conduct, and offers criteria for difficult choices. It becomes effective through leadership, examples, reporting channels, and review.
Principles state which goals and attitudes should be protected.
Concrete expectations make values actionable in daily work.
Reporting paths and consequences show how violations are handled.
A code of ethics supports dilemmas, collaboration, and responsible governance. It does not replace law; credibility comes from implementation and fair enforcement.
