More and more companies are committing themselves to uphold further standards of ethical conduct within their corporate policy which go beyond the existing laws. Primarily this consists of the adherence of human rights, the protection of labor standards, fair business practices, consumer protection, transparency and the publication of relevant company information, environmental protection or the avoidance of environmental risks. Oftentimes the companies’ voluntary commitments are based on international standards and guidelines of conduct. Within this chapter these standards and guidelines will be systematically portrayed, analyzed and further explained through examples.
