Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Corporate code of ethics is defined as a set of laid down rules and regulation that is meant to inform and guides the workers towards professionally conducting themselves in a way that aligns with the mission and core values of the organization .

However , having a code of ethical conduct in place in an organization does not mean compliance , until necessary measures for compliance are put in place. Therefore it is possible to have the code of ethics with minimum or no compliance to it. Based on this , it can sometimes be viewed as thinly disguised attempts to mislead the public into thinking that the company behaves ethically.
