Corporate Ethics is a subject of increasing concern in federal acquisition. Contracting officials are increasingly looking at adverse actions against companies that commit unethical acts, including disbarment from future federal acquisition activities and criminal penalties.
Because of this, Corporate Ethics is becoming something that evaluators look at during the acquisition process. How can they tell if a company practices ethical business activities? The fact that they have never received any punishment for unethical actions is an indicator, but it may just mean that a company hasn't been caught, yet.'
But how do you prove a negative? If a company hasn't been caught doing something unethical, how can that
company show that it's because the firm is ethical, not just lucky?
For a small business, the problem is even greater, because the company doesn't have a very long track record.
Federal Allies Institute can be your ally in helping you establish your credentials as an ethical business partner, by reviewing your corporate ethics program and awarding you the Federal Allies Institute Certified Ethical Company Designation.
