Abstract
In Chapter 4, we observed what qualities can be used to describe and evaluate the ethical content of corporations. In this chapter, we shall discuss how we can review the ethical content in practice. We shall also discuss other parts of an ethics audit more closely. The insight gained during an ethics review may serve as input for corrective measures and activities. The possible ethics measures to be adopted and activities to be undertaken will be discussed in chapters 6 and 7.
“A shared vocabulary is essential when trying to measure, observe, describe and evaluate bahavior in situations characterized by a multiplicity of stakeholders, each with multiple values and expectations.” (Pruzan, 1997:11)
