The Goodpaster Framework

The Goodpaster Framework is a way to assess ethical behavior in business by evaluating how a company’s actions impact stakeholders—everyone affected by its decisions, like employees, customers, and communities. It encourages companies to consider their duties and responsibilities, emphasizing honesty, fairness, and respect. By applying this framework, organizations can ensure they make decisions that not only benefit their bottom line but also uphold moral principles and social responsibility, fostering trust and long-term success. Essentially, it helps businesses act ethically by balancing profits with the well-being of all stakeholders involved.
