The experience and business ethics incorporated in Conbes Holdings Ltd. (Malta): the new development ethics

“Development ethics is useless unless it can be translated into public action. By public action is meant action taken by public authority, as well as actions taken by private agents but having important consequences for the life of the public community. The central question is: How can moral guidelines influence decisions of those who hold power?”

Denis Goulet, The Cruel Choice, 1971

The methodology adopted by Conbes Holdings is to ensure foreign investment and complete specialization in the respective field. However, accelerating economic development, as economic growth alone is not enough. Ethics and the belief of business ethics is a prerequisite. Only this may support established businesses and develop new sustainable businesses in the region.
