Sumario:The drafting of codes of ethics by non-profits around the world is a relatively recent phenomenon. Non-profits' concern with codes of ethics has to do with new concepts, which now form part of their interests: transparency, accountability, self-regulation, improving management, social responsibility and quality. This paper contains de main findings of research carried out on codes of ethics in the non-profit organizations of Catalonia. Its main goal was to discover how codes of ethics are introduced into Catalan organizations, and find out whether many institutions are introducing codes of ethics and, above all, what issues they address. The research does not provide data on application of the codes; instead, it concentrates on analysing the text.
