Do you think companies should place high priority on business ethics?(Why?/ Why not?)你认为公司应该高度重视商业道德吗?(为什么?)Yes.

All employees must keep that in mind that constantly apply it to the performance of all activities for the company.(3)How important is integrity in business operation?诚信在商业运作中有多重要?Companies should apply the highest standards of integrity to everything they do.

Sedex是供货商商业道德信息交流的缩写形式(Supplier Ethical Data Exchange)。Sedex是一套网络数据库,用于帮助各公司储存其业务范围内的劳动准则信息,而且他们的客户也可以共享这些信息。SEDEX是一家总部设在英国伦敦的非赢利组织,世界上任何地点的公司都可以申请会员资格。SEDEX已获得了许多大型零售商和生产商的青睐,许多零售商、超市、品牌商、供应商和其它组织都要求与之合作的农场、工厂和制造商参加ETI道德经营审核,以确保其经营符合相关道德标准的要求,审核结果可以得到所有SEDEX会员的认可并被他们共享,所以供应商接受SEDEX验厂可以省去很多来自客户的重复审核。ETI(Ethical Trading Initiative) 是英国道德贸易组织的英文简称。 是由UK起草的一个议案,目的是通过设立针对在发展中国家采购公司社会责任的论坛以改善全球工人的工作条件。 ETI由三方代表组成:公司、工会和非政府组织。ETI的基本守则与SA8000类似,都是基于联合国劳工组织基本协议。ETI是由英国国际发展部和私人部门出资赞助成立,正实行的几个首例审核促使最佳运作准则的形成。参与ETI的公司和组织有:C&A,Sainsbury's,theCo-operative Wholesale Society和拯救儿童、公平贸易协会等非政府机构。Smeta是Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit的简称,是SEDEX会员道德贸易审计,由SEDEX关联审核员群体 (AAG) 开发。 SMETA验厂英国所有行业出口型企业的通行证;认证有效期至少一年。 SMETA验厂可以免去众多英国零售商验厂如:Co-op﹑Geest、Grampian-Foods﹑Tesco特易购、Hallmark Cards、Sainsbury's、John Lewis、Marks and Spencer玛莎、The Body Shop、Waitrose等.所以,SEDEX验厂、SMETA验厂、ETI验厂实际上是同一个审核,只是说法不一样,都是指SEDEX成员要求其供应商根据ETI标准进行的社会责任审核。
