“…As such, it appears Western European corporations, at least, are beginning to expand the focus of the codes to include external shareholder considerations. Bodolica and Spraggon (2015) find that code content for most large Canadian corporations still focus on legal aspects to safeguard the firm, but about 6% of the corporations in their sample had publicly available codes that were value driven and a further 14% of corporations appeared to be working toward that end. In sum, this evidence taken together with findings that suggest smaller companies imitate larger companies' CCEs (e.g., Forster et al 2009; Holder-Webb and Cohen 2012) provides a somewhat optimistic view for a positive evolution of CCEs going forward.…”

“…In other words, the results suggest code of ethics quality does not impact market perceptions of future firm performance for high growth firms. Bodolica and Spraggon (2015) analyze publicly available codes of corporations listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) that had initiated a merger and acquisition within the previous decade. Merger and acquisition companies were chosen because of their relatively larger size, greater diversification, higher visibility, and greater influence over corporate stakeholders.…”

“…A estos dos grandes enfoques se unen las motivaciones identificadas en la literatura como: el deseo de impulsar la imagen y reputación de la organización en los mercados, la obtención de legitimidad ante sus grupos de interés, la formalización de compromisos y cumplimientos legales, el deseo de reducir conflictos y costes legales mediante la promoción en la empresa de una cultura basada en la ética (Bondy et al, 2008;McDonald, 2009); e incluso en los últimos años, los códigos son vistos como una manera de responder a las recientes quiebras empresariales y evitar las consecuencias negativas de las actividades ilegales y las malas prácticas empresariales (Bodolica & Spraggon, 2015;Singh, 2011). A todo lo anterior hay que añadir que en algunos sectores hay cierta regulación que ha promovido su desarrollo (KPMG, 2014).…”

“…Destaca que las empresas incluyen en sus códigos éticos menos aspectos relacionados con la gestión de recursos materiales, como el uso de equipamientos y de recursos económicos (alrededor del 60%), dando más importancia a aspectos relacionados con la gestión de intangibles, como son la forma de relacionarse con terceros y la toma de decisiones (en torno al 80%), que se sitúan por delante de la forma de relacionarse en el lugar de trabajo (72%), en línea con la adaptación encontrada por Bodolica & Spraggon (2015). Llama la atención la relevancia del uso de la información (un 74% de las empresas), que puede estar relacionada con terceros o con la propia entidad, aspecto que puede estar influido por el desarrollo legal actual en este sentido.…”
