Despite the fact that ethical principles do not seem to involve organizations as much as economic or administrative aspects, in reality these principles are directed towards the members of a business organization.
Ethical principles:
Ethics, as a branch of philosophy, is considered a normative science, because it deals with the norms of human behavior, it studies how man achieves the common good with his activities. It cannot be isolated from the issues of the administration since, essentially both refer to the human being and his social behavior.
The ethical and the unethical are present in our daily, personal, group and business actions.
Entrepreneurs who understand that their action strengthens the social fabric and is for the benefit of other people, that is the great key to entrepreneurial success.

Social responsability
Responsibility begins at home…
When starting to put Corporate Social Responsibility into practice, there is a sequence that goes from inside the company to outside it.
The first step is to comply with the laws and strive to work so that your conduct is guided by ethical values.
The company must be responsible with its employees and collaborators, it must strive to develop its human capital, which is what ultimately makes it possible for the company to bear fruit. It is important to understand that the same spirit must be applied to both suppliers and customers.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be defined as: "The active and voluntary contribution to social, economic and environmental improvement by companies."
From this point of view, the individual transcends the general through ethics, since an action carried out by an individual can affect an entire community, and although we are talking about individualities, an action taken by a company can affect other organizations, or perhaps the entire community.
The entrepreneur is inserted in a world in constant change, however, his behavior should be guided by values that are not negotiated.
This concept is important to understand to promote the ethical training of entrepreneurs as a necessary requirement for success in their companies.
