The Golden Rule of business ethics is: "Do to others as you want others to do to you," (1). It's essentially treating others how you wish to be treated.
Variations and Interpretations
While the core principle remains consistent, the Golden Rule has been expressed in slightly different ways, such as John Stuart Mill's concise version: “To do as you would be done by” (1).
Considerations
It is important to consider the context when applying the Golden Rule, as context can alter its meaning (2).
