Corporate Housing Code of Ethics.

Published Date: 2014-03-19

How do you do business? What do you base your ethics on? The Institute on Global Ethics believes each decision is based on one of three foundations.

1. What is best for me as an individual.
2. What is best for my community.
3. What is best for my world.

For example if you decide to steal money from your employer that may be good for you as an individual but bad for your community.  When dealing with tenants and landlords, moving money around and keeping security deposits, breaking a glass or not reporting damage these are all actions that involve ethics. The Corporate Housing Providers Association believes that promoting good ethical business practices throughout their membership is good business for all of us connected to the industry. I agree :-) Today they updated their "Code of Ethics".
