In this era of globalization and heightened public awareness of social and environmental issues, business ethics are increasingly crucial for enhancing corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices.

By examining various relevant studies, the research identifies key elements of business ethics contributing to successful CSR programs, such as transparency, accountability, and integrity. The findings indicate that companies incorporating ethics into their business strategies not only meet social expectations but also gain a sustainable competitive advantage. This article aims to provide insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers on the importance of aligning business ethics with social responsibility to positively impact society and the environment.
