What is the relationship between code of ethics and a code of conduct?

Answer 1

Ethics is the basis of conduct, which is percieved through individual morality and society's norm of what is "good or bad", "right or wrong".

A code of ethics establishes whether an activity is right or wrong.

A code of conduct is a statement of the standards to which an individual or enterprise adheres, and the responsibilities and restrictions that are to be observed.

A code of practice is a set of guidelines issued by a professional or service organization, to which the members agree to comply.

Answer 2

I'm no expert when it comes to Business and it's intricacies but I will help answer by writing what I know about these two things.

The Code of Conduct is defined as a general rule when going on about the operations. It is a set of rules that guide employers and employees when dealing with colleagues, clients, and/or superiors. As such, it is often seen as the "Guidebook" in most companies and everyone, owner or employee should follow it. It also lists down the penalties for such actions detrimental to the said code. This Code varies between each company with some similarities.

As for the Code of Ethics, it is a set of predefined "boundaries" where a person/company holds him/her/themselves from violating this boundary. It is usually defined by the morals of society and an example of this would be the old saying: "Do not do unto others as you would want done unto you."
