The importance of business ethics in public procurement practices in Sierra Leone: CEVA Logistic Company
Abstract
The study is part of a preliminary study for the awareness of ethical conduct in the procurement process, specifically in a logistics company in Sierra Leone. Ethics is an essential norm in business settings where most of the people misconduct the behavior inadvertently. The objective of this paper is to get an understanding of a logistic case company, where ethics is applied in the daily procurement processes—an in-depth analysis to address the openness of the employees by following the company's ethical guidelines. The study prompts companies to emphasize the importance of the implementation of ethics and also create awareness by having official ethical-guidelines for the company. The company has achieved numerous benefits, including a cost reduction and maintaining a company-supplier relationship through the implementation of ethics in procurement.
