A conference titled “Business Ethics for Prosperous Nepal” has just concluded in the capital. The main idea behind the conference was to teach the importance of ethics in business to the Nepali business community. Organised by the World Forum for Ethics in Business, the conference which examined ethical practices that are sustainable and ensure profitability for businesses was well attended and was successful.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The importance of ethics in business cannot be overemphasized. Ethical behaviour can bring significant benefits to a business by attracting customers to its products, reducing labour turnover and thus increasing productivity and attracting investors and keeping the company’s share prices high, among other ways. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
But the conference evoked some simple questions: is the Nepali business community one of the segments of society that needs a lesson or two in ethics? Are the Nepali businessmen really unethical and hence need sermons on business ethics the most? What about ethical practices in the bureaucracy and politics? Ethics concern an individual’s moral judgments about right and wrong. If so, are Nepali businessmen most wrongdoers that they are being lectured on ethics while the politicians and bureaucrats are apostles of ethics?</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Definitely not. The ethical standards of Nepali business community look higher than those of many other segments of society including the government bureaucracy and political parties. And, in fact, at the root of whatever unethical business practices we have lies in the government and politics. There are many instances where the government has been rewarding unethical practices. For one, this is reflected in the government’s decision to waive taxes of different companies, in awarding licenses to start various businesses. This is reflected also in the actions of the government regulators of different businesses. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The situation of ethics in the country’s politics is appalling. So much so that many find ‘ethics in politics’ as contradiction. It is because of the lack of ethics in politics that people do not place much trust on the political parties and politicians. Political parties are far from maintaining transparency in their financial transactions and deals. And that is why most politicians are seen as selfish and corrupt power-players who are not responsible and who defend special interests instead of the common good. That is why Transparency International reports have repeatedly depicted politicians and bureaucrats as the most corrupt. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Ethics in politics matters the most in Nepal because it directly affects everything else including ethics in business. Lack of ethics in politics has a much wider impact than lack of ethics in business. Businesses have to sell their products or services on a daily basis. This means their ethics is being tested almost on a daily basis by the buyers as well as the employees. This is because they tend to be more ethical in their actions, behaviours and decisions. On the other hand, the ethics of politicians is challenged everyday but it is tested only through elections. Such elections are not yet regular in Nepali democracy. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The delay in the first sitting of the Constituent Assembly (CA) and forming a new government even after two months of CA election could be the latest and simplest example of the lack of ethics in Nepali politics. The episode has exposed the ethical and moral dilemmas and deficiencies of a range of actors in Nepali politics including the President, Chairman of the Council of Ministers, the major political parties which are tipped to form the new government and the parties which have been mandated by the people to sit in opposition.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The bottom line is: the political class needs to be reminded of ethics more frequently than any other segment of society. Therefore, conferences on ethics in politics are wanted more urgently than conferences on ethics in business. </div>

This means their ethics is being tested almost on a daily basis by the buyers as well as the employees. This is because they tend to be more ethical in their actions, behaviours and decisions. On the other hand, the ethics of politicians is challenged everyday but it is tested only through elections. Such elections are not yet regular in Nepali democracy. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The delay in the first sitting of the Constituent Assembly (CA) and forming a new government even after two months of CA election could be the latest and simplest example of the lack of ethics in Nepali politics. The episode has exposed the ethical and moral dilemmas and deficiencies of a range of actors in Nepali politics including the President, Chairman of the Council of Ministers, the major political parties which are tipped to form the new government and the parties which have been mandated by the people to sit in opposition.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The bottom line is: the political class needs to be reminded of ethics more frequently than any other segment of society. Therefore, conferences on ethics in politics are wanted more urgently than conferences on ethics in business. </div>

A conference titled “Business Ethics for Prosperous Nepal” has just concluded in the capital. The main idea behind the conference was to teach the importance of ethics in business to the Nepali business community. Organised by the World Forum for Ethics in Business, the conference which examined ethical practices that are sustainable and ensure profitability for businesses was well attended and was successful.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The importance of ethics in business cannot be overemphasized. Ethical behaviour can bring significant benefits to a business by attracting customers to its products, reducing labour turnover and thus increasing productivity and attracting investors and keeping the company’s share prices high, among other ways. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
But the conference evoked some simple questions: is the Nepali business community one of the segments of society that needs a lesson or two in ethics? Are the Nepali businessmen really unethical and hence need sermons on business ethics the most? What about ethical practices in the bureaucracy and politics? Ethics concern an individual’s moral judgments about right and wrong. If so, are Nepali businessmen most wrongdoers that they are being lectured on ethics while the politicians and bureaucrats are apostles of ethics?</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Definitely not. The ethical standards of Nepali business community look higher than those of many other segments of society including the government bureaucracy and political parties. And, in fact, at the root of whatever unethical business practices we have lies in the government and politics. There are many instances where the government has been rewarding unethical practices. For one, this is reflected in the government’s decision to waive taxes of different companies, in awarding licenses to start various businesses. This is reflected also in the actions of the government regulators of different businesses. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The situation of ethics in the country’s politics is appalling. So much so that many find ‘ethics in politics’ as contradiction. It is because of the lack of ethics in politics that people do not place much trust on the political parties and politicians. Political parties are far from maintaining transparency in their financial transactions and deals. And that is why most politicians are seen as selfish and corrupt power-players who are not responsible and who defend special interests instead of the common good. That is why Transparency International reports have repeatedly depicted politicians and bureaucrats as the most corrupt. </div>

For one, this is reflected in the government’s decision to waive taxes of different companies, in awarding licenses to start various businesses. This is reflected also in the actions of the government regulators of different businesses. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The situation of ethics in the country’s politics is appalling. So much so that many find ‘ethics in politics’ as contradiction. It is because of the lack of ethics in politics that people do not place much trust on the political parties and politicians. Political parties are far from maintaining transparency in their financial transactions and deals. And that is why most politicians are seen as selfish and corrupt power-players who are not responsible and who defend special interests instead of the common good. That is why Transparency International reports have repeatedly depicted politicians and bureaucrats as the most corrupt. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Ethics in politics matters the most in Nepal because it directly affects everything else including ethics in business. Lack of ethics in politics has a much wider impact than lack of ethics in business. Businesses have to sell their products or services on a daily basis. This means their ethics is being tested almost on a daily basis by the buyers as well as the employees. This is because they tend to be more ethical in their actions, behaviours and decisions. On the other hand, the ethics of politicians is challenged everyday but it is tested only through elections. Such elections are not yet regular in Nepali democracy. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The delay in the first sitting of the Constituent Assembly (CA) and forming a new government even after two months of CA election could be the latest and simplest example of the lack of ethics in Nepali politics. The episode has exposed the ethical and moral dilemmas and deficiencies of a range of actors in Nepali politics including the President, Chairman of the Council of Ministers, the major political parties which are tipped to form the new government and the parties which have been mandated by the people to sit in opposition.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The bottom line is: the political class needs to be reminded of ethics more frequently than any other segment of society. Therefore, conferences on ethics in politics are wanted more urgently than conferences on ethics in business. </div>

A conference titled “Business Ethics for Prosperous Nepal” has just concluded in the capital. The main idea behind the conference was to teach the importance of ethics in business to the Nepali business community. Organised by the World Forum for Ethics in Business, the conference which examined ethical practices that are sustainable and ensure profitability for businesses was well attended and was successful.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The importance of ethics in business cannot be overemphasized. Ethical behaviour can bring significant benefits to a business by attracting customers to its products, reducing labour turnover and thus increasing productivity and attracting investors and keeping the company’s share prices high, among other ways. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
But the conference evoked some simple questions: is the Nepali business community one of the segments of society that needs a lesson or two in ethics? Are the Nepali businessmen really unethical and hence need sermons on business ethics the most? What about ethical practices in the bureaucracy and politics? Ethics concern an individual’s moral judgments about right and wrong. If so, are Nepali businessmen most wrongdoers that they are being lectured on ethics while the politicians and bureaucrats are apostles of ethics?</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Definitely not. The ethical standards of Nepali business community look higher than those of many other segments of society including the government bureaucracy and political parties. And, in fact, at the root of whatever unethical business practices we have lies in the government and politics. There are many instances where the government has been rewarding unethical practices. For one, this is reflected in the government’s decision to waive taxes of different companies, in awarding licenses to start various businesses. This is reflected also in the actions of the government regulators of different businesses. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The situation of ethics in the country’s politics is appalling. So much so that many find ‘ethics in politics’ as contradiction. It is because of the lack of ethics in politics that people do not place much trust on the political parties and politicians. Political parties are far from maintaining transparency in their financial transactions and deals. And that is why most politicians are seen as selfish and corrupt power-players who are not responsible and who defend special interests instead of the common good. That is why Transparency International reports have repeatedly depicted politicians and bureaucrats as the most corrupt. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Ethics in politics matters the most in Nepal because it directly affects everything else including ethics in business. Lack of ethics in politics has a much wider impact than lack of ethics in business. Businesses have to sell their products or services on a daily basis. This means their ethics is being tested almost on a daily basis by the buyers as well as the employees. This is because they tend to be more ethical in their actions, behaviours and decisions. On the other hand, the ethics of politicians is challenged everyday but it is tested only through elections. Such elections are not yet regular in Nepali democracy. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The delay in the first sitting of the Constituent Assembly (CA) and forming a new government even after two months of CA election could be the latest and simplest example of the lack of ethics in Nepali politics. The episode has exposed the ethical and moral dilemmas and deficiencies of a range of actors in Nepali politics including the President, Chairman of the Council of Ministers, the major political parties which are tipped to form the new government and the parties which have been mandated by the people to sit in opposition.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The bottom line is: the political class needs to be reminded of ethics more frequently than any other segment of society. Therefore, conferences on ethics in politics are wanted more urgently than conferences on ethics in business. </div>
