Abstract
This paper explores the best practices of Eaton Corporation, a global leader in power management, focusing on leadership, inclusiveness, compliance, ethical business practices, and its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through a qualitative analysis of case studies, corporate reports, and academic literature, the paper examines how Eaton’s strategic decisions and corporate governance align with established theories such as Transformational Leadership, Stakeholder Theory, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The study reveals that Eaton’s success is deeply rooted in its ethical leadership, robust compliance framework, and commitment to diversity and sustainability. These practices not only enhance the company’s reputation but also provide valuable lessons for other organisations seeking to achieve long-term success in a complex global market. The methodology includes a thematic and comparative analysis of secondary data, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of Eaton’s corporate strategies. While the findings are specific to Eaton Corporation, the insights gained can serve as a model for other businesses aiming to integrate ethical and sustainable practices into their operations.
