The Ethisphere Institute ,  an organization focuses on business ethics ,  has published a list of the world’s most ethical companies this year .

According to The Ethisphere Institute ,Starbucks was the only company in the restaurants and cafes category to make the list this year , McDonald , however , has disappeared on that list since 2010 .

Some famous companies such as Apple has never shown up in the lists. These companies’ CEO may think their companies can only choose one between ethics and profit  , but Aflac chairman said that they were proud to be on the list because it was the best endorsement of their belief that ethics and profits will not be conflicted to each other.

As a matter of fact , skillful staffs are more likely to choose an ethical company as their working place because working for ethical companies can rise employees’ morale and these companies are much easier to maintain relationships between consumers and firms. So both ethics and profits are possible to get at the same time .

Also , other food companies should concern this terrified fact , since all the food companies has failed to reach the ethical standard except Starbucks . Food companies should check the food materials from other suppliers strictly , because only a few carelessness can cause huge tragedies to consumers according to plenty of food safety issues all over the world .
