Background of the Study
Corporate ethics policies are essential for guiding organizational behavior, fostering accountability, and ensuring compliance with ethical standards. For multinational corporations operating in Nigeria, where diverse cultural and regulatory contexts exist, the implementation of effective ethics policies is particularly important. These policies help organizations navigate challenges such as corruption, employee misconduct, and unethical business practices.
Coca-Cola Nigeria, a subsidiary of the global Coca-Cola Company, operates within a competitive and dynamic business environment in Nigeria. Ensuring the effectiveness of its corporate ethics policies is crucial for maintaining brand integrity, stakeholder trust, and regulatory compliance. This study investigates the implementation and impact of Coca-Cola Nigeria’s ethics policies in Taraba State, evaluating their effectiveness in promoting ethical behavior.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the existence of corporate ethics policies, multinational corporations in Nigeria face challenges in ensuring adherence to these policies. Issues such as corruption, weak enforcement mechanisms, and cultural differences often undermine the effectiveness of these policies. Coca-Cola Nigeria, despite its global reputation, is not exempt from these challenges.
Although corporate ethics policies are widely recognized as vital for organizational success, limited empirical research examines their implementation and effectiveness in the Nigerian context. This study addresses this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of Coca-Cola Nigeria’s ethics policies in fostering ethical behavior and compliance in its Taraba State operations.

While providing insights into the company’s practices, the study may not fully capture the experiences of other multinational corporations or regions.
