The Ethical Corporation - Powered by Ubuntu Ethics

Corporate misgovernance by leaders bereft of ethics has pushed Corporate Governance and Business Ethics to the forefront of the social sciences. A company has no mind of its own. It depends entirely on its directors to act in good faith, exercise care and diligence, and lead ethically. Operating within the triple context of economy, society, and environment, directors carry a fiduciary duty to create value sustainably.

This book argues that African humanism, the Ubuntu/Botho philosophy, offers a powerful, often-overlooked answer. Not unlike the Golden Rule that underpins many of the world's religions, Ubuntu/Botho is fundamentally incompatible with corporate malfeasance. An organisation that embraces Ubuntu/Botho ethics is one built to avoid corruption and drive sustainable development. It is a truly ethical corporation.
