RBJ Business Ethics Columns

Business Ethics as seen in the Rochester Business Journal

In the summer of 2008, the Rochester Business Journal began to publish a series of columns titled Business Ethics, authored by Jim Nortz, compliance director at Bausch & Lomb, a board member of the Ethics and Compliance Officers Association, and a steering committee member of the Rochester Area Business Ethics Foundation.

These monthly columns are highly readable and relevant to just about any business endeavor, from a small, family-owned business to a large, publicly traded corporation.

Our hope is that these columns serve as a resource for anyone and everyone in business - owners, officers, directors, managers, employees - who faces situations or issues that require the making of a decision based on good business ethics.

These columns are made available with the permission of the Rochester Business Journal, a Platinum Sponsor of the Rochester Area Business Ethics Foundation. http://www.rbjdaily.com/
