Environmental Concerns And Ethical Issues As Both Opportunities And Constraints For Businesses:
Übersicht
Every factory and shop affects the world around it, sometimes by polluting a river, sometimes by creating jobs that lift a community. Customers, governments and pressure groups increasingly judge businesses not just on price but on how they treat the planet and behave ethically.
This lesson explains how business activity affects the environment, the idea of externalities and sustainability, and the ethical issues firms face. By the end you will see how environmental and ethical concerns are both constraints on, and opportunities for, a business.
