I'd say that you're confusing code of ethics with animal welfare.
A business code of ethics should focus on business behavior. Things like following all laws and ordinances pertaining to services offered, not talking disparaging about others offering similar or like services, self improvement, appearance and actions when dealing with the public, how differing viewpoints can be viewed and/or handled, etc.

Animal ethics is one of my favorite topics and I can discuss ( argue ) it with anybody. Sick or injured animals are put down, period.
Do I believe that the animals that I relocate lead a happy life in their new surroundings. Maybe some do but the majority do not.
I do believe that the predators in that area owe me big time for delivering them hot meals on the hoof. The truth of the matter is,
and this is probably true for all of you, whether you terminate or relocate every animal you catch, you have little or no bearing on
the overall numbers of any animals in your area. Weather and predators ( to a lesser extent ) can be way more important to the
success of a species. I would say that the ethics of releasing any animal caught for nuisance or damage purposes and releasing elsewhere, unless required by law, is questionable.

When we were a sole-propriety company, we didn't have anything for employees really except for a hand-shake and proof that they had the state required licenses. After we incorporated, we went to employee manuals and job descriptions. We have never done a specific "Code of Ethics" as everything is detailed in our manual. If you need a code for comparison, you can get the NWCOA Code of Ethics from their By-laws located at www.nwcoa.com.

I would disagree, animal welfare would be apart of your business ethics, how you handle it is policy. Business ethics, as described in MY textbook (which I understand can be different from your companies strategy, and different from the real world) can be your beliefs on fair pay, product quality, customer service, honesty, and environmental practices. I would include fair treatment of animals in our environmental practices. Things that we believe to be true, even if not regulated by law.
