Boeing’s 737 Max Fines are Stiff — but Here’s who Gets Stuck With the Bill

Ann Skeet, senior director, leadership ethics, published by MarketWatch.

Boeing, a company that was once known for their stand-up reputation, has now faced many engineering and ethical shortcomings. Skeet discussed the outcomes of some of Boeing's financial decisions and outlined some key questions to ask about ethics in organizations and its effect on investment.

"Companies can be held accountable when they have knowingly cut corners for customer safety. Investors can become better educated about how to spot companies headed for reputational trouble by learning about what using ethics actually looks like inside of corporate America. It’s one way customers and investors can protect themselves from corporate wrongdoing," wrote Skeet.
