Exploring research on the management of business ethics

Abstract

Society is constantly striving to promote actions that are environmentally, socially and economically sustainable in the long term. The initiatives that are currently being proposed are not only global, but corporate as well, and they all contribute to a more environmentally-friendly future. In this context, the concept of business ethics arises, referring to the set of arguments that allow to improve the relations between workers and external parties directly related to the business activity. This starting point is essential to explain how achieving an ethical organizational environment may bring about improved economic, social and environmental results. For this reason, this work focuses on discussing business ethics through a literature review and a bibliometric analysis.
