In
keeping with today's theme of standards and ethics and all that, I
thought you might be interested in Shel Horowitz's campaign to get
people to take an ethical business pledge... I just signed the pledge!
Denise O'Berry, Small Business Edge, http://www.whatspossible.com
With
Kenneth Lay's trial set to begin soon, Shel Horowitz, author of
Principled Profits and a respected colleague of mine, has started a
campaign to get 25,000 people to endorse the idea that ethical business
is actually more effective and more profitable--and to commit to
spreading this message to at least 100 other people. I made my
commitment. What about you? Just click the I believe in ethics link on
the right in Quick Links to sign the pledge.
Eva Rosenberg, I-HelpDesk and Web Review, June 29, 2004 (top-featured article)
One
of the special things we do here at the HelpDesk is to change the world
for the better. Today, it's Shel's turn to help guide us to Principled
Profits, in the face of all the corporate scandals…
Looking
back to when I was about 10 years old, I remember saying that I never
wanted to get involved with business, because to succeed you had to
lie, cheat and steal. Well, my world evolved so that I ended up smack
in the middle of the business world. And hey, friends, I am darn proud
to be among you - because I've watched you struggle with your
consciences, too - and make all the right choices.

hopes to reach a critical mass that will make the next Enron
impossible, because employees won't cooperate with the crooked
directives."

"A
visionary colleague and good net-friend of long standing, Shel
Horowitz, has scored a hat trick (that's "hockey" for a trifecta, to
you dog-racing fans out there) with his new proposal to start a
movement calling for high-level ethics in business."

Ellen M. Zucker, Faces & Fortunes, July 3, 2004"The Ethical Business Pledge is the
brainchild of Shel Horowitz, author of Principled Profits: Marketing that Puts People First who has built a whole business around marketing in an ethical way.
He was sickened by the disclosures coming out of the Enron and other scandals and resolved to do something about it."

Shel
Horowitz's noble ethics pledge is something no business executive
should hesitate to sign. It only takes a moment, but that moment
separates companies that merely say they run an ethical operation from
those that truly pledge such conduct...to their customers, to their
employees, to theirexecutive staff, and even to their competition!
