Walmart dismisses business ethics

Walmart has also been accused of unfair treatment of their employees.

Walmart has been involved in numerous scandals over the years. One example took place when Walmart decided to establish new locations in Mexico. In 2005 a former executive revealed that Walmart de Mexico had used bribery in order to dominate the markets, specifically to obtain the permits needed to build new stores. The allegations were investigated, however in the end the decision was made not to pursue the case. The question here is (like with Walmart’s many other allegations) whether they are actually innocent of these charges, or whether money makes a company untouchable and ethics unimportant. I think the above is one small example of how a large, billion dollar company can easily use money to make itself exempt from laws, making business ethics insignificant.
