Considiring the increasing complexity of organizations and the rate of unethical, ille¬gal and irresponsible acts in business, the managers and experts have focused on the ethics of work and management; in this regard, many organizations have defined ethical codes and have cre¬ated official and educational systems. The purpose of this study was to investigate on organiza¬tions assessment in connection with developing and implementing ethical charter. In this study, ethics in place of excellence, the importance of Ethical Charter as a strategy in implement-ing moral principles in the organization and implementation of paid and its role in the study of per¬formance development have been evaluated. Finally, the results of the study sample, some rea-sons for unsuccessful Ethical Charters are discussed. This study is practical and descriptive. In this study, 42 companies under Ministry of Com¬munication and Information Technology have been studied for investigation of their situa-tion in compiling and operating Ethical Charter. Among the companies included, only 47% of companies had Ethical Charter. Among those, 85% were successful in developing the charter. Regarding the ethical Charter implantation, 80% of the successful companies in developing the plan could achieve the training and operating score of ethical Charter. The results showed that inspite of the emphasis on ethics in organizations, there have not been much investment in this field. On the other hand, only having the ethical charter is not sufficient, and it's implementation is more necessary.
