What kind of social responsibility of a business is described in the problem that a construction company from Unit 14 faces?
Helping to solve society problems and
Principles of work – should they be the same as in private life?
What is more important: to stick to ethical
standards or to earn profit? What would you do if you found yourself
in the same situation as Charles or Georgia? What is the way out?
Consider all possible options. Give reasons for you decision. Unit
14, Dialogue, p. 175; Case Study, p. 177.
At least tell the boss – and let him make a decision. Or leave
the company, if its ethics don't match with your own (the boss might
have known that the European company's production had been banned).
Making this information public is nonsense anyway – for your
career. But if there's no way to avoid the risk for so many people –
it might seem the only right way for some people.
Or let the executive from the construction company know – and
let him make a decision.
