Sponsored by  Pavese Law Firm and  Sizzle SWFL Restaurant Week/ Food Idea Group 

Our panel program will help define business ethics as the set of moral rules that govern how businesses operate, how business decisions are made and how people are treated. In business, there are many different people you have to answer to: customers, shareholders, and clients.Determining what to do when an ethical dilemma arises from these different interests can be extremely tricky, and as such, business ethics are complex and multi-faceted. Come meet our panelists and learn how they operate.
