Of course following Ethical Practicies is profitable or at least I can assure you that not following it might end up with severe losses. Companies that have strong ethical identity tend to maintain a higher degree of stakeholder satisfaction which by itself positively influences the financial results of the company.

IMHO, In Ethics, all elements are KEY Elements.

I will support Rami on this, but even if we have to lose on money to abide by ethics, this is an investment worth making. We do not have to be GREEDY and always ready to find reasons when and how not to be ethical. Ethics are prime and should be respected even when you sometimes have to lose.

Hi Suhail,
A question concerning your comment. when you talk about losses do you refers to monetary ones, is it correct?
In any case you consider that we are earning credibility. is it correct my interpretation?

Yes I specifically mean financial loss. And at that loss, if I can maintain my ethical values and self-respect, I will gain credibility, which is larger than life and much ahead of any financial attainment.
