HOW ETHICAL CODES FORM AMONG BIST SUSTAINABILITY INDEXED FIRMS

Öz

Nowadays, business ethics have gained significant attentionin the related literature, even for managers and academics. Business ethics can be defined as a corporate way of acting or operating under a framework of what is right for the stakeholder in which lacks of ethical standards among industries generate avitiating effect on the economic and behavioural balance of society.In the related literature, a business’sethics as well as its code of conduct is primarily associated with corporate governance principlesand sustainable development issues. However, the type, format and context of a code of conduct have not been adequatelyanalysedamong firms where there are some legal regulations or obligations that exist within stock exchange markets or where corporate governance reports must be disclosed. In this scope, the aim of this study was to investigate the components and the context of the ethical codesof 15Turkish firms that are indexed on the Borsa Istanbul (BIST) Sustainability Index.The findings show that Turkish firms are aware of ethical behaviours and are concerned aboutthis issue. The scope of the ethical codes of the Turkish firms is primarily focused on protecting the firm and its assets but not society. Most code issues that are discussed consist of conflicts of interest followed by acceptance bribery, relationships with competitors and employee health and safety. Other detailed findings are also provided in the results section.
