corporate behavior

Business entity actions

Corporate behavior refers to how companies and their representatives act in business contexts—their practices, ethics, and treatment of employees, customers, and the public.

The phrase often carries critical undertones, suggesting profit-driven decisions that disregard human concerns: The layoffs were typical corporate behavior.

It can describe anything from dress codes to environmental practices to how executives communicate.
