Chapter 18
Ethics, Legal Issues, and Corporate
Social Responsibility
Chapter Overview

While the law has always been a part of modern marketing, in an effort to respond to
consumer and citizen concerns about advertising and product protection, it is a relatively
new concept for consumers and other stakeholders to consider the ethical stance of the
organizations from whom they consumer marketing. Further, broader groups of citizens are
demanding that organizations hold themselves accountable not just to their shareholders,
employees, consumers and partners, but also to the societies in which they operate.

Learning Objectives

After studying this chapter, the student should be able to:

18.1 Explain the concept of ethics and its application to marketing
18.2 Identify key legal issues in marketing
18.3 Describe the issues associated with corporate social responsibility

Note: It is very important the readers obtain proper legal advice from a recognized and
credentialled professional for all legal matters related to their marketing activities. The
legal information provided here is for education and training purposes.

Suggested Lecture Outline

I. EXPLAIN THE CONCEPT OF ETHICS AND ITS APPLICATION TO MARKETING

This module addresses some of the most critical issues with regard to legal compliance,
ethical marketing practices, and the corporate social responsibility (CSR) of
organizations operating in the marketplace. Figure 18.1 illustrates the interconnection
among legal, ethical, and CSR issues.

A. Describe ethics

Ethics, by definition, require an openness to a broader range of personal opinions
than many other areas of marketing.

18-1

, Marketing, 2e Chapter 18 - Ethics, Legal Issues, and Corporate Social Responsibility

B. Identify the relationship between ethics and laws

The biggest differences between laws and ethics are that ethics are more
complicated, precisely because, unlike laws:

‐ Ethics are not clear.
‐ How to comply with ethics is not obvious.
‐ Failure to adhere to ethics may or may not be penalized.
‐ Ethics are not applied equally to all.
‐ The definition of “fair” is not obvious.

Figure 18.2 outlines the clear differences between laws and ethics on a number of
important factors.

II. LEGAL ISSUES IN MARKETING

A. Legal areas affecting marketing

Figure 18.3 provides a comprehensive overview and comparison of key legal,
regulatory, and ethical issues impacting marketing.

At the heart of all legal issues are two important factors:
1. Community standards - what we as a society accept and think is right
2. Law - rules and regulations to ensure that we all act by the same guidelines

B. Controversial practices in advertising

Canadians should exercise critical thinking skills when watching advertising by
asking the following five questions:

1. In which medium am I seeing the ad?
2. Is it a Canadian or an American ad?
3. Is mine supposed to work/look just like the one in the ad?
4. How they really said what I think they said?
5. Did they really show what I think they showed?

Figure 18.4 identifies some of the many product categories in Canada with strict
legal guidelines for their marketing.

C. Marketers’ use of the law

As Figure 18.5 shows, marketing laws, regulations, and oversight are designed to
protect consumers, however, others also benefit. This section deals with how legal
tools can aid the marketer, not just the consumer or society.

1. Compliance – This deals primarily with how marketers’ adherence to
standards and guidelines protects consumers as well as themselves from
legal action. These include compliant measures in:
