A Deconstruction of the Juridical Conditions of Business Ethics

Bart Jansen

Business Ethics, the Environment & Responsibility, 2026, vol. 35, issue 2, 614-618

Abstract: Business ethics is increasingly subject to juridical conditioning, as evidenced by the growing number of ethical codes in the corporate sector. This juridical conditioning signifies that legal reasoning is displacing, or even replacing, ethical reasoning. Consequently, business ethics is evolving to resemble legal frameworks more closely. This contribution refers to this phenomenon as juridically conditioned business ethics and argues for the necessity of transcending these juridical conditions through a critical examination of the law.
