In order to do this, we created a key criteria list of ethical practices the company should demonstrate. Our list is comprised of the following criteria:
▪ Employee Relations
▪ Environment
▪ Diversity
▪ Customer Relations
▪ Community Relations
▪ Shareholder Power
▪ Law Abiding
▪ Partnership Relations
Through our research, we concluded that Southwest Airlines paralleled this list. Southwest not only meets our list, but exceeds our standards.
