Reference no: EM133021725
You are the general manager of a regional chemical company. In the course of producing your bulk chemicals, large amounts of particles and smoke are emitted through your plant's smokestack. The level of pollutants is below current EPA regulations, and you are violating no laws, but neighborhood groups are complaining about minor health problems caused by the smoke. After investigating numerous alternatives, you find the most effective solution would be to install a "scrubber" system which will remove 90% of the pollutants and ash. Coat =$1 million. Do you install the system?
Identify three stakeholders and at least two specific ethical considerations or questions for each of the stakeholders you select.
The Shareholders/Investors - As an executive it is my responsibility to maximize profits for my company in an ethical manner. I would want answers to the following questions:
· Can we afford the $1 million scrubber and what impact will the purchase have on our profits?
From the employee's standpoint
· How do the employees feel about this situation? How does this impact their work, motivation levels and/or their feelings about the company? About the neighbors?
The Customers of the Company
· How will the customers feel about this controversy?
