B

Explanation:

Corporate code of ethics is defined as a set of laid down rules and regulation that is meant to inform and guides the workers towards professionally conducting themselves in a way that aligns with the mission and core values of the organization.

However, having a code of ethical conduct in place in an organization does not mean compliance, until necessary measures for compliance are put in place. Therefore it is possible to have the code of ethics with minimum or no compliance to it. Based on this, it can sometimes be viewed as thinly disguised attempts to mislead the public into thinking that the company behaves ethically.
