Ramesh Venkataraman
"Fundamental to corporate governance is business ethics. Corporate governance is the framework or the supervisory mechanism, but the core of a company is its ethical ethos, which is the intrinsic component that drives behaviour. Currently, the perception about businiess ethics is narrow and mostly centred upon absence of bribery and so on. Business ethics has a wide connotation. It means making the right choices with all the stakeholders. There is tremendous business value to be derived from being ethical. It is a strength, not a weakness or a soft underbelly."
