Before we try to answer this questions we must first ask - What does being ethical mean?
However, even before that, we must separate morals from ethics.
Morals are often personal, while ethical standards are typically professional and relate to a business or organisation.
To be ethical means acting in accordance with accepted principles of right and wrong, such as Integrity, Fairness and Respect, Responsibility and Accountability, Moral Decision-making and Avoiding Harm.
Integrity and Honesty:
Consistently adhering to strong moral principles and being truthful in actions and decisions.
Fairness and Respect:
Treating others equitably and with respect, regardless of personal gain.
Responsibility and Accountability:
Taking personal ownership of actions and their consequences, especially in professional or social contexts.
Moral Decision-Making:
Making choices based on what is right rather than just what is easy, profitable, or even legal.
Avoiding Harm:
Operating in a way that avoids causing social or environmental damage.
Remember:
Every business, tech or otherwise, has a moral obligation to be ethical.
