Business Ethics - which is sometimes referred to as a business code of ethics - is the professional ethics which observes ethical values or ethical troubles that arise in a business environment.

Business Ethics provides the proper business policies and practices related to strong controversial issues, for instance, corporate governance, bribery, insider trading, corporate social responsibility, biases and fiduciary responsibilities.
A business must be run under some basic principles such as it has to provide quality goods and services to their consumers at reasonable prices and it should avoid adulteration, unfair malpractices, and misleading advertisements. As far as a concern with the workplace environment, business ethics facilitate the workers and the organization both as they both have a code of conduct which provides them the security of their legal and fundamental rights.
