Abstract
When utilitarian ethics– concerned first of all with the greatest happiness for the most– is applied to business, the workplace will be one where each person’s human development is encouraged, respect for others and freedom will be paramount, diversity will be supported, and positive community and a healthy company culture will be nurtured. Business will be managed with a concern for its effects on stakeholders outside the company as well, especially customers, suppliers, and the local community, striving to deliver value to society through its activities.
