Business ethics on tackling the environment problem
Business is a social activity, it is intended to make profits for the shareholders, who found the company. A company wants to sell goods ,so it has to buy material from its suppliers first, then have the employees produce products and sell them to customers.
As part of our society, a company is composed of large number of people, so it should act within the law , to do business legally. If it wants to gain as much profits as possible, it must establish good relations with both suppliers and customers, even anyone who affects it or affected by it. That is to say good reputation in its local community ensure a company a promising future. So I say a company is responsible to not only its shareholders but also its customers and the whole community.
In this case china is tackling the environment problem by investing in energy saving industries. That’s an improvement shows people are getting aware of the business ethics rather than profits.
Nowadays,executives not only make expenditures on reducing pollution but deliberately hire less-qualified, long-term unemployed workers, or workers from ethic minorities suffering from discrimination. They offer the opportunities to these kinds of people. That’s business ethics.
