objectives of the company to the stakeholders, it is also used to be able to help the
employees by giving them a guide of what to follow. A company ethos can change
how a company works or produce their products, a company ethos could be to
become more environmentally friendly and have environmental awareness or ike

guests and the animals in our care, employing the highest standards of safety,
security and welfare.” that is their company ethos.
Company ethos can have a big change in products such as if alton towers want to be
more socially responsible they will have to change their products as the products
they might sell could be bad for the environment so they would change their
packaging of food/drinks that they sell to be more environmentally friendly. They
would also have to change their marketing to say that they are now more
environmentally friendly
