Business’s Spouse: Business Ethics
People are moving forward with the booming developed economy and the progressively expanded manufactures, and so are some other positive developments. Relatively, to a certain extent, building the industrial giants throughout the world forces mankind live under the expected environment level and every single individual has to be the victim of the world’s property, which is unfair. For example, Enbridge Inc, which has the longest crude oil and liquids transportation system in North America, benefited the economy growth of Canada as a whole. However, it permanently wrecked the coastal environment of Alberta.
According to the brief statement of how does itself enhance the community life and sustainability, leadership announced that they not only weigh the society as responsibility but also they’ve helped with decreasing the unemployment rate of CA. Yes, to some extent, it’s cool business. However, considering the coastal habitat and population, it’s not ethical at all. Because the oil spill, the biggest harm behind all those benefits above, sort of endangers the coastal sustainability and energy-refilling. Once it’s called business, once it hurts, it cannot regarded as business anymore.
Therefore, on the way of constructing business empires, people who operate the cooperation should be more perceptively aware of business and social ethics. Earning the money, while, earning the reputation. So, basically speaking of this idea, I suppose that business and business ethics must be working together, as a whole.
