Activity 3:
Point 1:
What is Business ethics? Well, the same phrase clearly defines the idea
behind Business Ethics, a set of concepts, values, beliefs, which conclude
business behaviors that can be evaluated as good or bad, due or undue. But
that clarity of the idea is misleading and deserves some precisions, which are
the ones that I intend next - all with the purpose of having a reasonable
definition of Business Ethics:
The subject of the ethical rules is not the company, but the people that make
it up: owners, administrators, employees, workers. It is a common mistake to
reduce the field of action of Business Ethics to the actions of its owners and
senior executives, since it applies to all its members.
In this case, the people who make up the company perform a series of acts
that generally have a common goal: to seek the survival of the business and
its success in an economic environment in which there is competition for the
same resources and the same consumers. As in the case of any other human
behavior, the possibility of improper or reprehensible actions must be faced.
The point of origin of the Business Ethics is the same as that of any ethical
norm: the possibility of reprehensible acts that can be carried out when the
person acts seeking a personal benefit.
Business Ethics is a special case of ethical norms, of a universal nature, that
apply to all people, but here they enter in detail in fields such as tax
payments, dividend distribution, executive compensations, checks and
balances. competition, product quality, monopolistic practices, industrial
espionage, discrimination at work and others related to business and work
activities.
For example, Anglo American has also contributed to the Voluntary Principles
on Security and Human Rights. has played an active part in initiatives such as
the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, the United Nations Global
Compact and the Global Reporting Initiative.
These are fields that require an in-depth knowledge of the nature of business
in order to have applicable norms and logic - which, unfortunately, is not
always true, since many of those who propose ethical business standards do
not have that knowledge.
Business Ethics is a good instance that demonstrates the universality of ethics
and its absolute principles -which denies the moral relativism that has been
applied to other human behaviors, but not business. This code sets out
principles and practices for ensuring that a company’s need to ensure the
security of its employees and operations in volatile countries does not
adversely impact upon the local population
It is unfortunate that it has been distorted and turned into a public relations
instrument - and worse, a tool to attack the company itself by people who do
not have knowledge about the operation of business. But, we must
considerer the goals established by the company Anglo American as example:
working without fatal accidents, increasing diversity in the workplace,
eliminating occupational diseases, increasing the benefits of mining for local
communities, increasing energy efficiency. Etc.
Business Ethics tries to have a larger field of action than the law - it is not
enough to be within the law, but to go beyond it and its small circle of
authority. In general, this has been interpreted as the application of the
principle that states not to do to others what one would not want others to
do to one - and even beyond this, to the more proactive notion of treating
others as one I would like to be treated. For those reasons, a business must
keep in tune with the wishes of the peoples it serves or it runs the risk of
estranging its owners, stakeholders and clients. This company for example,
has to deal with many different levels of interest when setting up a new
project. This includes, for example, the stakeholders of the land and the
individuals and services in the area.
The latter is what has led to the somewhat slippery notion of social
responsibility and that has fallen into the defect of the politically correct and
the bad practice of being used as an instrument of public relations.

Point 3: Short Report

for the director in chief of the southern plant for the production and
transformation of raw materials.

Mr. Bob.
Due to the latest events occurred within the company in the field of the new
and surprising implementation even without environmental tests, of the
controversial methods approved for the production and transformation of the
bearings manufactured by the company, in the new manufacturing plant. We
have had my work team and I, both logistic and health problems due to the
biological risk involved in the use of the chemicals used in the aforementioned
methods and also at an environmental matter. Throughout this report I
suggest with enough concern and urgency that you take action on the matter
promptly and accurately.

Thanks in advance for the attention provided.

Activity 4,
Prezi:
Point 1. Option 2: choose an international company (English speaking
country) that had introduced a product or service in Colombia ( Coca Cola)
Point 2:
Coca-Cola proudly serves more than 200 countries and territories from
around the world, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is at the core of
our business in each one of them. Some of the main purposes of coca cola in
terms of corporate social responsibility are: Improve water efficiency by 25
per cent (Water is the main ingredient in his products and in 2017, we
continued to replenish 100% of the water used in our finished beverages
back to communities and nature, a goal we first met in 2015. Projects
implemented by the end of 2017 are replenishing an estimated 248 billion
liters per year through community and watershed projects globally, as
estimated with the help of our many reputable partner organizations using
peer-reviewed scientific and technical methods
The commitment to the sustainability of Coca-Cola not only involves using
the visibility of the company and the strength of its brands to build a better
world at an environmental level, such as returning to nature 100% of the
water contained in their drinks or launching containers that are more
respectful with the environment. It also happens to generate social
value.andres
Look after freshwater systems, reduce carbon emissions by 25 per cent,
responsibly source material for Plant Bottle packaging, Source ingredients
sustainably, Coca Cola have established a set of guiding principles for
sustainable farming, and now they’re working with the WWF to make sure
those guidelines are implemented across the world – for sourcing sugarcane,
sugar beet, palm oil, tea, coffee and oranges (Food and beverage packaging is
an important part of our modern lives, yet, the world has a packaging
problem that we have a responsibility to help solve. By investing in packaging
innovations, collecting a bottle or can for every one we sell, and working
together with partners to address waste challenges, we aim to be part of the
solution
To this end, Coca-Cola bases part of its strategy on sustainability in pillars
such as promoting a diverse and inclusive work culture, both within the
company itself and in society as a whole; the development of initiatives that
contribute to the employability of young people; support for culture; and
respect for human and worker rights throughout the Coca-Cola supply chain.
Other goals that companies most achieve: Replenish 100 per cent of the
water they use and Recover 75 per cent of bottles and cans in developed
markets. In its effort to support diversity and the groups that need it most,
Coca-Cola collaborates with various organizations and joins initiatives such as
the UN's HeForShe campaign to achieve effective equality between men and
women.
