The given situation comes under professional ethics.

Explanation:

Professional ethics are values that regulate the behavior of a person or a business group. They are like rules telling how a person should act in given situations.

Many times, only the legally correct statements are not enough. When the company's chief executive officer has a discussion with Yellowstone County representatives, he should disclose both the reports. By doing so, he would follow professional ethics of not suppressing reports about the toxic by-products. He could also show any flaws in the report of the fired researcher.
