The Business and Ethics
The competition authority has ordered 3M (and other companies) to a fine of 1.97 million euros for abuse of dominant position in the market for retro-reflective films. This decision is practices prior to 2007.
Following a report of over 120 pages and a precise investigation of many years we arrive at this conviction.
Directorate General for any answers, just remember "strongly" that the rules of ethics from 3M and encourage us to follow the many e-learning sessions on the subject. The rules of ethics have good backs and a good para-thunder.
It would be nice to ask the question of the relationship between business and ethics ... So far everything was good to do business, the rules of ethics as we were seen as cosmetic. In the famous quarterly meetings, the focus was on growth and not about ethics. Business first.
Director instituted legal guardian of ethics does not deign to honor with his presence the EC and the HSC, so he is invited on three occasions. When we point lines in particular ethical limits on certain suppliers (see case Webhelp) we do not receive a response,
When we recall the rule of ethics on the 3M Occupational Health which states that "3M s undertakes vis-à-vis security and of the health of all its employees and provide a workplace with no danger or risk to health worldwide "direction Cergy slow to take on sites and other measures yet ; needed both in terms of workload, recognition, restoration work collectives and training necessary but not sufficient.
It is amazing that when we suffer a heavy financial management conviction reminds us firmly to the rules of ethics but when we suffer a poor quality Worklife can not say anything, you do nothing.
We believe that ethics are important, but they all are, not only the rules on competition law but also all others.
