English term or phrase: ethics
I don't understand Greek at all but I need to know how to say "ethics" in Greek. This has to do with business ethics if this is of any help. My Google search returned "Ηθικά". Is that so? Thanks in advance for your help!

agree  Daphne Theodoraki: Yes, this is the correct translation (επιχειρηματική δεοντολογία) in a business context. "Ηθικά " would be OK if you were talking e.g. about Aristotle.

business ethics
επιχειρησιακή ηθική/επαγγελματική δεοντολογία


Explanation:
Ι am not sure of your context, but since it's business ethics you could either use
επιχειρησιακή ηθική or επαγγελματική δεοντολογία
ΕΠΑΓΓΕΛΜΑΤΙΚΗ ΔΕΟΝΤΟΛΟΓΙΑ & ΗΘΙΚΗ. Το μάθημα αποσκοπεί να καταστήσει το σπουδαστή ικανό να κατανοεί τις έννοιες και τις αρχές της επιστημονικής
