Engineering ethics is the field of ? applied ethics which examines and sets standards for engineers' obligations to the ? public, their clients, employers and the profession. This article addresses the subject for both professional engineers and other engineers.

From the supplier: Corporate culture plays a big role in fostering ethical business practices. As a rule, companies that institutionalize their commitment to good business ethics are the ones more likely to develop high standards of business conduct. Institutionalization, in this case, usually comes in the form of a declaration of the company's ethical responsibilities. This declaration of commitment is typically upheld through such mechanisms as corporate structuring, credos, ethical codes, training programs, ethics committees and social audits.

From the supplier: Businesses can thrive without severely damaging the environment. Such is the guiding principle that led to the McDonald's-Environmental Defense Fund partnership. With its waste reduction policy, McDonald's Corp has reduced its use of materials and has used recycled materials. Furthermore, it has introduced into its corporate culture a new business ethic that enhances the growing environmental concern. With the positive consumer reception that the program has generated, other companies may soon follow McDonald's example.
