RE: Kerry Poon’s blog post

I found Kerry’s business ethics article and insights very interesting. Reading her post, I found myself sharing her sentiments of disgust and horror that oil supplier, Chang Guann, disguised gutter oil as clean cooking oil and sold it to the unsuspecting consumer market. This exemplifies the epitome of corporate greed. It’s especially horrifying when executives of such large, influential companies make unethical decisions because their decisions have the power to negatively affect so many people. Kerry also wrote about her feelings of anger at Chang Guann, because they ruined a traditional Chinese festival when thousands of traditional Chinese pastries had to be recalled off shelves for having used the gutter oil. So not only did this company put at risk the health of millions of people, but they wrecked a cultural holiday by trying to maximize profits with no concern of basic social responsibility. I’m glad that this company was fined and made an example of.
