One way that companies can encourage ethical standards is to hold a training session once a year to remind employees of the company's ethics.  Another thing that companies can do to encourage ethical behavior is to have a reward and punishment system in effect.  The system has to have guidelines and regulations so that everyone that is rewarded or punished in the same way.

I feel that encouragement and maintance for upholding a companies ethical standards must begin at the top.  The company managers and CEOs can tell employees how they are to behave, but if they are seen doing something unethical than everyone else will think that it is ok to do so as well.  It is not enough to simply set rules, the CEOs and managers must live by them as well.  I would compare this to a parent setting rules for a child.  A parent telling a child not to say a bad word, then the parent says it, the child will very often end up saying that word even though they have been told not to say that.
