  Abstract. The research investigates the principles and ethical codes in business, highlighting their critical role in today's competitive environment. As businesses face increasing pressure to balance financial success with ethical conduct, the study aims to define these concepts, explore their scope, and identify key ethical principles while examining their implementation in Islamic banking.
