This type of industry are actually related to the production of various types of products like footwear, bangs etc. In Bangladesh leather industry is a major industry and the government has declared it as the priority sector. Tanning actually involves a complex combination of mechanical and chemical process. So it can be easily said that the combination of mechanical and chemical can have an impact on environment and most of the time the impact is negative. “Water pollution can be defined in many ways. Usually, it means one or more substances have built up in water …show more content…

These types are based on different objective, owners, liability and profitability distribution etc. However, Leather and brick industry can be focused on any of those. By realizing the proper base of the business according to their production process they should take proper steps. In one sense it has been identified that a corporation is a legal entity but it is not a human being. Then, how can industry morally responsible? To provide a good answer to this question, it can be stated that the legal power of an industry makes it act like a human being. An industry can be treated same as the treatment of an individual. But, the answer become more complicated because, based on one point, industry cannot be charged with morally responsible. A corporation has no free will because it is created by laws that can run a business for some specific objectives. It is not a person who acts consciously and freely. Industry is separate from its owners and thus it has a limited liability. In this sense, it cannot take all the blame for its actions. In contrast, individual methodologists suggest that industry don’t commit offenses; people do (Bodenheimer. 1980)
Businesses have a significant impact on many communities around it, whether that impact is intentional or not. So, with that being said, should these businesses have a responsibility to society? To answer that question, John Mackey and T.J Rodgers both have written articles with differing views to give readers an understanding of what should be done in their minds. I’m going to break down both arguments respectively.
So, what exactly is a corporation’s responsibility? Much will depend on who you’re talking to, but
Water pollution is a very serious problem as it affects one of the most essential ingredients to our very livelihood. The earth is covered in water, in fact about 70% of the Earth is covered in water, only
Pollution is a massive problem, due to burning excessive amounts of fossil fuels and produces global warming. The rising in temperature of earth has resulted huge melting of polar ice caps, flooding of low-lying areas, and also rise in sea levels. If these conditions conquer the surface of earth it will face radical changes. Hence, the ozone holes are also being created trough this process, that creates a harmful UV rays that enters the earth surface. Apparently it affect human life trough causing diseases like cancer. Melanin that present in the skin reacts trough these high wave radiations. Skin cancer is one of the major forms of disease that known to be caused due to these reactions of the pigment present in the skin and infra-red rays. Besides that, when burnt sulphur, dioxide gas will also be produced. This factor forms acid rain. Acid rain could leads to destructions of most of monuments that were made up of brickwork or marbles. Even a lot of crops are affected due to the acidification of loams.
One situation that demonstrates a legal and ethical dimension is shown in the idea of skipping the safety testing of the battery. The president is under pressure to maintain the market lead for Tri-star, failure to do so would find numerous employees get laid off. The president knows that a good battery would help them gain more worldwide customers and increase their market share. Thus, the president tasks the VP of engineering to develop a new battery in time for the launch of Tri-star’s flagship phone for next year. The vice president of engineering, Mr. Cutthroat, finds out that if they perform the safety test, the battery would not be ready for launch. Mr. Cutthroat comes up with the idea of skipping the safety test for the new battery they’ve developed to have it ready for the launch of the flagship phone. Tri-star is not required by law to safety test the batteries, but by skipping the safety test would endanger the consumers. While the company may not legally be responsible, whether or not they acted ethically is different. By skipping the safety test, they are not attempting to promote good consequences and instead are promoting bad consequences. So while they may not be held legally liable, they are definitely guilty of unethical behavior.
The Shoe Industry consists of a multitude of footwear categories, varying in utility, style and occasion. When overseeing the market for the shoe industry, we must look at the influence of all shoe trades universally to comprehensively understand how the disparities in sales relate to the needs of specific regions. The global retail market within the shoe industry currently represents $185 billion, driven primarily by Asian and Latin American economies and is expected to reach $211.5 billion by 2018. The growth rate globally was 6% between 2004 and 2008, contrasting to the 2% compound annual growth from 2008 to 2012. The United States holds over 24% of the overall industry size it projected over $48 billion in annual revenue in 2012. Domestically, the growth rate has been flat at 0.3%. On a unit volume basis, global footwear consumption for 2012 is approximately 11,421.3 million (in pairs), where the United States makes up roughly 2,741.1 million (in pairs). By 2018 the U.S. Census Bureau has forecasted a steady decline within demand domestically of 3% and an increase of 1% globally.
In today’s fast paced business world many managers face tough decisions when walking the thin line between what’s legal and what’s socially unacceptable. It is becoming more and more important for organisations to consider many more factors, especially ethically, other than maximising profits in order to be more competitive or even survive in today’s business arena. The first part of this essay will discuss managerial ethics[1] and the relevant concepts and theories that affect ethical decision making, such as the Utilitarian, Individualism, Moral rights approach theories, the social responsibility of organisations to stakeholders and their responses to social demands, with specific reference to a case study presenting an ethical dilemma[2], where Mobil halts product sales to a garage, forcing the garage owner to stop selling solvents to young people. The second section of this essay will focus on advice that should be given to any manager in a similar position to the garage owner with relevance to the organisational strategic management, the corporate objective and the evaluation of corporate social performance by measuring economic, legal, ethical and discretionary responsibilities. It will address whom to think of as stakeholders and why the different aspect could cost more than a manager or an organisation could have imagined.

Business organizations should act responsible towards society as it will benefit society, culture, economical condition and environmental issues as well. In other words, business organization are currently only focusing on their core objective that is only maximizing their profit but this profit maximization comes with a cost to the society like over exploiting resources, polluting environment, producing products which are not environmental friendly. If business organization acts socially responsible they will help the society to develop.
Globalization is basically about attempting to make things global and expanding products and companies over seas to countries all around the world. It can also be classified as the process of creating languages, services, and products that apply not just to an individual neighborhood or city or country, but to the whole world. Canadians have experienced many benefits that globalization has brought to their lives including the availability to products and services from all around the world. However, at the same time on the other side of the world it has had many pessimistic or negative effects on workers in developing countries. As Globalization began to boom, the number of sweatshops also increased greatly and its effects were most definitely harming in many ways to the individuals employed by them; mainly women and children. Out of all the industries that have become globalized, the textile and garment industries are amongst the most. Mutually the textile and garment industries make up one of the largest sources of industrial employment in the world. In virtually every country around the world clothing is being produced but being sold somewhere else. Around 30 million people are making clothes and textiles around the globe and out of those thirty million, most of them are women. Around the world women and children are suffering because of the introduction of sweatshops, low wages, unsafe working environments, free trade zones, foreign control, sub contracting and abuses of human and worker rights.
Water pollution is one of the main concerns of the environment. It is known as a change in the chemical or physical condition of the waters. Polluting the waters is causing harmful and tragic diseases that affect many families. It is also a global problem that not only affects people but also animals and plants. Water pollution is a current issue that has serious consequences; it progresses everyday in our lakes, oceans, rivers and other bodies of water.
Transportation is a big issue with pollution. Vehicles create smog, catalysts for ozone, and components for acid rain. Smog contains a chemical called ozone. Ozone can seriously affect a human’s health. It reacts with the molecules in the lining of our airways. This then causes inflammation. Acid rain has many ecological effects, but none is as bad as its impact on lakes, streams, wetlands and other bodies of water. Acid rain makes waters acidic, which causes them to absorb the aluminium that goes from soil into water. When bodies of water become more acidic, the numbers and species of fish and other organisms living in the water begin to decrease. There are many examples of water pollution. Raw sewage running into water, industrial waste spills, and exhaust fumes from vehicles. A big problem with raw sewage is that Bacteria use up oxygen in the water, as they decompose the organic material in the water. The lack of oxygen kills animals and other organisms that live in the water. Many harmful chemicals are in industrial waste. These can become drinking water pollutants if not well managed. Car exhaust creates a wide range of gases and solid matter. This causes global warming, acid rain, and it harms the environment and human health. Engine noise and oil spills also cause pollution. Since most oils float, the marine creatures most affected by oil spills are animals like sea otters, and seabirds that are found on the shore or in
When the problem became serious two main views formed: the “narrow” view and the “broader” view, based on different ideas. The “narrow” view is based on the proposition that corporations have no social responsibility and they have only one main purpose, to make a profit (Friedman, 1970). So corporations should remain socially independent and all conflicts must be solved through the individual responsibility concept. On the contrary the “broader” view states that corporations have social obligations as all existing participants of market, persons and entities are tied together and are mutually dependent. So corporations cannot ignore some serious events or problems, which take place, and must help society, as profit is not their single purpose.
Industries do not be harmed by water pollution but the cause much it. Many companies pour chemicals into the waterways. Some of the businesses that contribute to the water pollution are businesses that repair and maintain motor vehicles, electroplate, operate printing and coping equipment, perform dry cleaning and laundry services, process photographs, operate labs, involve building and construct roads, provide pest control, preserve wood, and make Furniture. Water pollution doesn¹t just effect humans, it affects are whole ecosystem. Birds and marine life are affected by it.
Water pollutants are of different types such as oxygen demanding wastes, disease causing agents, synthetic organic compounds, plant nutrients, inorganic chemicals and minerals, oils, thermal discharge and radioactive wastes. Of all these water pollutants, heavy metals and synthetic organic compounds cause majority of water pollution. Industries like paper and pulp, tanneries, textiles and coke ovens, pha...
