Answer 1

Answer:

e. The ethical culture approach is especially well-suited for companies that favor a light approach to ethics compliance.

Explanation:

The management of ethical standards in a corporation must demonstrate to authorities and society that this corporation follows the highest standards of conduct and respect for the law. This should go from top to bottom, ie from directors to employees, and should be considered as a core value for the company's existence and evolution across all sectors. Therefore, it is not correct to say that the ethical culture approach favors a flexible conduct regarding ethical compliance, but rather it must be a strict standard.
