Reports from Europe, Global Survey of Business Ethics 2022¨C2024
This article explores the evolution of business ethics in Ukraine over 32 years of independence, highlighting the intersection of socio-economic transformation, legal frameworks, and business culture. The study identifies key influences, including anti-corruption laws and competitive fairness initiatives, while showcasing the impact of public organizations like the Ukrainian Network of Integrity and Compliance (UNIC). The role of education, particularly the inclusion of business ethics in Ukrainian higher education since the late 1990s, is analyzed through academic curricula and literature. Insights from the Global Survey of Business Ethics (GSBE) reveal gaps between academic theory and business practice, as well as emerging ethical priorities shaped by Ukraine¡¯s post-war recovery. The article emphasizes the significance of compliance, integrity, and corporate social responsibility as essential components of modern business ethics. Recommendations include strengthening academic-business collaborations and integrating practical case studies to bridge theoretical and applied/business ethics.
