The purpose of this article is to highlight, present and evaluate business ethics practices. A separate purpose of the article is to submit proposals for improving corporate ethics. The methodological tool used is based on bibliographic research, text analysis and secondary sources. The research question concerns business ethics and whether it contributes to the development of companies and the better management of business human resources. We will assume that business ethics helps significantly in the development of businesses and the fuller utilization of human resources and we will try to verify this hypothesis. The expected results of the investigation aspire to answer the research question and verify the hypothesis. Also, to highlight the contribution and the best utilization of corporate ethics in the context of business management, through the creation of a business culture that will lead to the consolidation of the ethical and social profile of companies. The above findings are considered important because they initially provide us with new data on the prevailing situation in the business world. At the same time, they lead us to the conclusion that it is necessary to strengthen business ethics, through the development of trust and cooperation with the ultimate goal of creating a business culture that will significantly help improve the business environment.
