Doing Good in Business

There’s been no shortage of news about unethical business practices, but is it as widespread as media reports might suggest?

Doing good often translates into a business doing well, as its reputation and referrals (particularly in the age of social media) can be invaluable. Following ethical standards benefits the employees and the clients, and therefore a company’s bottom line.

Locally, the Adirondack Samaritan Counseling Center is hosting the region’s first-ever “Ethics in Business” awards. The center, which provides counseling services to children and adults, “recognizes the connections of ethical behavior to the physical, psychological and spiritual health of the community.”

If you know of an ethical local business, nominate them for an honor here.
