Business ethics
Business ethics is a controversial topic. Whether a company should contribute to society or not and what they should do is never a simple question. Nestle, the world’s largest bottle-water company, has been taking water from B.C. for years without paying a cent. It may seem unfair as Nestle pay nothing to get water but sell it for money. However, I believe that Nestle should not be blamed, at least not the only one to carry the can, because there is no regulation for Nestle to comply with. Government should have introduced policies on taking groundwater decades ago. It is the government that should regularize behavior of business, although it will be a huge effort to do, as the regulation should be specified in every aspect. It will sure cost a long period to complete. However, if government doesn’t do the thing, how can we ask company to do so? Company does not have to shoulder the responsibility when even the government does not care about it, as the ultimately aim of company is to earn profit as long as they do not break the law.
