Values are those core beliefs that guide our behavior. Individuals and organizations apply their knowledge and skills most willingly to efforts in which they believe. Managers should work to establish an environment in which values that lead to ethical behavior and values that lead to peak performance are the same.

People who believe in ethical values will sometimes make unethical decisions because of self-interest, self-protection, conflicting values, or because they see the benefits as being intangible or deferred.
Key elements of corporate social responsibility include the ethical aspects of the following issues: human rights, safety and health, business practice, governance, environmental engagement, consumer relations, marketplace activities, community involvement and social development.
