Introduction

In this report we are going to talk about 3 different companies based in Ensenada, Baja California Mexico that do business with ethical practices, and may stand up from the rest of their competitors ethics-wise.

The way we assessed ethics in business with these companies was through the following criteria, and were selected as long as they meet at least one of them:

• Have a certification as an “Empresa Socialmente Responsible”1.
• Take care of the environment in any way.
• Have been a Corporate Socially Responsible2 by promoting advance of their very local economies and good corporate citizenship.

Definitions

Empresa Socialmente Responsable

Is a business perspective that integrates respect for the people, ethics and values, community and environmental within corporate management, regardless of the business line, market, size and nationality.

Although the distinctive is promoted since 2001 by the Mexican Philanthropy Center and only Mexican companies are eligible.  

Corporate Socially Responsible

Is a self-regulating business model that helps a company be socially accountable—to itself, its stakeholders, and the public. Companies can be conscious of the kind of impact they are having on all aspects of society, including economic, social, and environmental.

To engage in CSR means that, in the ordinary course of business, a company is operating in ways that enhance society and the environment, instead of contributing negatively to them.
