Professional Ethics, Social Responsibility, and Sustainability

Professional Ethics, Social Responsibility, and Sustainability places ethics at the centre of modern professional and public life, showing how values shape everyday decisions in organisations, institutions, and society. Rather than treating ethics as an abstract theory, it presents it as a practical framework for navigating real-world challenges in a rapidly changing, interconnected world. The book introduces key ethical philosophies and behavioural insights, then explores issues such as governance, accountability, diversity, equity and inclusion, and responsible business practices, including CSR and ESG. It also addresses contemporary concerns like workplace dilemmas, whistleblowing, sustainability, and the ethical implications of digital technologies.
