Which of the following is not considered an ethical criterion?

  1. Social responsibility

  2. Corporate driven

  3. Transparency in operations

  4. Adherence to moral principles

The correct answer is: Corporate driven

The choice identifying corporate driven as not an ethical criterion is correct because ethical criteria typically focus on principles and practices that govern behavior in a manner that is consistent with values such as integrity, responsibility, and fairness. Social responsibility, transparency in operations, and adherence to moral principles all embody aspects of ethical decision-making. Social responsibility involves considering the impact of actions on society and the environment, while transparency in operations emphasizes honesty and openness about processes and decision-making. Adherence to moral principles refers to following ethical standards and norms that guide conduct. In contrast, being corporate driven does not inherently align with ethical standards and could prioritize profit or organizational goals over ethical considerations. Thus, it does not fit within the framework of ethical criteria as the others do.
