Planning
- Ethics today is one of the most important requirements for the sustainable
development of both businesses and organizations. In the business world, many
firms have enhanced their corporate culture of ethics and strengthened their social
responsibility.
- Our school was established with the 4T Principles (eThics, sTorytelling
Teamwork, and Technology) as the school’s philosophy. Hence, we consider ethical
culture and education as the core value for the school’s vision.

- Five-minute lecture on ethics: Every class offered by our school begins with a
five-minute lecture or discussion on business ethics. This is included as one of the
evaluation criteria of the lectures.
- Sharing ethics related essays: The school faculty members share ethics related
essays via email. In particular, full-time professors are required to write at least
six ethics related essays every year and share them with all faculty and staff
members.
Content
- Sharing ethics related knowledge through SIE seminar: Every Monday morning,
we hold the Seminar of Intellectual Exchange (SIE) for all faculty and staff
members where they take turns in presenting their specialized topics. Before the
presentation, the presenter is required to give a five-minute ethics-related lecture.
This helps ensure that business ethics and culture are shared across the whole
school.

- Ethics education is very important for not only students, but also for the faculty,
staff, and all invited instructors.
- As all faculty members are required to have and internalize a high sense of
Key points
ethics, the school has developed a system in which all instructors can practice
school-wide ethical management.

Traditional education on business ethics has mostly focused on merely delivering

Differences from traditional
approaches
formatted thinking and values to students. However, our ethics education is not
only for students but also for the faculty and staff members. In particular, it uses
stories and cases studies that reflect diverse aspects of ethics and adopts open
discussions and sharing platform such as seminars for ethic education. This helps
overcome the monolithic, traditional ethical values and understand what today's
ethical judgment and values should be like.

- We share extensive cases and implications with students to apply ethical

thinking of business-related topics in class. This helps students understand
business ethics with greater ease and make them part of the lives of the students.
- We ensure that different ethical issues are selected according to the nature and
Implications topic of the class to allow students to apply ethical thinking to all relevant areas.
- This approach allows students to help create a business culture of sharing
knowledge and enhance their sense of ethics throughout their organizations, by
sharing ethical essays and discussing related issues online.

been in operation for fifteen years, they are now internalized as an essential part
of the school’s culture and all faculty and staff member have been involved in
developing the programs. However, these programs need to be further upgraded
with more up-to-date contents and sophisticated programs design.
- There is a need to help our students to have a greater sense of and more interest
in business ethics.

- We will ensure that newly recruited professors and instructors are fully aware of
the school’s philosophy and understand how relevant activities are conducted.
- We will ensure that the school’s philosophy of 4T (eThic, sTorytelling,
Teamwork, and Technology) will be consolidated across the whole school.

Where to go from here?
Future Planning
1. Developing an independent ethics-oriented course. Currently, the five-minute
lecture on ethics has been offered as part of a class or a seminar. For the future,
we will incorporate an independent course on business ethics into the MBA
programs such as one credit course with twenty-four hours for the length of the
course. Moreover, an ethics-related mini lecture will be open to students and local
communities as a platform for sharing knowledge on ethics in particular.
2. Contributing ethics related articles for the school newsletters. We will
contribute business ethics-related articles for our school newsletters. This will be
helpful for the effective communication with students about the school’s culture
on ethics and its social responsibility.
3. Developing a system of education on ethics. We will develop training and
learning tools that will help the education on ethics to be more effective. IN this
way, ethics and social responsibilities will be imbedded in individuals as well as
their organizations.
4. Launching an ethics-related essay contest for students. We will launch an
ethics-related essay contest for our students to enhance their attention and
involvement in the business ethics as well as help to share their ethics knowledge
and valuable experience with others.

Exhibit B: Excerpts from Articles concerning Ethics Published in the Past Three Years

1. Companies Found Using Animals and Human Subjects to Test Vehicle Emissions, Professor Kim
Jong-Sik, Jan. 31, 2018
Recently, there was media coverage revealing that some German labs had been commissioned and sponsored by
German automakers to conduct a vehicle emissions test on monkeys and human subjects. Among the labs involved
was EUGT that works frequently with Germany's leading automakers including Volkswagen, Daimler Benz and
BMW. In 2014, the lab performed a test using monkeys to demonstrate that nitrogen oxide from the diesel engines
mounted on vehicles produced by the automakers was not harmful. In 2015, it performed the same test using human
subjects. Both the lab and the automakers came under sharp public criticism when it was revealed.
Diesel engines and gas engines have been the two cornerstones of the fossil fuel-based internal combustion system
that have upheld the automobile industry. Today, many countries including those in Europe have adopted, or declared
an intention to adopt, a law that requires the replacement of diesel engine vehicles with electric-powered ones by
2030. Fossil fuel-powered engines including diesel engines have been subject to persistent regulations since they were
identified as a major contributor to global warming and as a major source of harmful gases.
Emissions containing nitrogen oxide and other substances, in particular, have long been linked to cancer or other
serious diseases. For these reasons, the German automakers had a strong motive to demonstrate that their advanced
diesel engines posed only minimal harm. Moreover, Norway and the Netherlands among other countries announced a
policy that only fully eco-friendly or electric-powered vehicles may be sold within the countries. Germany also passed
a resolution that no fossil fuel-powered vehicle may be sold in the country from 2030. As such the three top
automakers in Germany are concerned that their country adopted such a drastic policy despite the fact that the share of
the automotive sector for Germany's economy is significant. The emissions scandal occurred against this background.
Their intention was to extend the lives of their allegedly eco-friendly diesel engines where enormous investment has
been made as much as possible until electric-powered vehicles become mainstream by advertising that their engines
are eco-friendly and not harmful to human bodies.
According to the media, in 2014, EUGT commissioned a test lab in the U.S. to use 10 monkeys trapped in a sealed-off
space and made them inhale emissions from a Volkswagen diesel vehicle. In 2015, it employed a lab of a leading
German universities to perform a test involving 25 human subjects who had to inhale nitrogen oxide of different
concentrations. EUGT is an entity jointly created by the top three German automakers and Bosch, a German auto parts
maker.
Following the revelation of this testing, a spokesman for the German government condemned the practice, adding that
the use of monkeys and human subjects could not be justified from any ethical perspective. He stressed that the
automakers should not try to prove that their emissions are safe based on a test using monkeys and human subjects,
but rather should focus on reducing harmful emissions. The German government must have been particularly
concerned about this scandal in the context of the Nazi's massacre of Jews using toxic gas during World War II.
Volkswagen announced in a statement that tests using animals are against its ethical standards and apologized for the
wrongdoings and lack of judgment among the individuals involved. It also promised a thorough investigation. The
other makers followed suit, announcing similar investigations. All the automakers, however, blamed the employees in
the labs involved. They continued to assert that the management of the makers had no idea what was going on despite
the fact that they had commissioned the labs to perform such tests and provided financial support.
7
Developed in 1892 by Rudolf Diesel in Germany, the diesel engine has been playing a significant role as an effective
source of power over the past 125 years. It has been used in many industrial applications including passenger cars,
trucks, heavy-duty equipment, ships, and other vehicles. As with all other technologies though, it seems that the time
for diesel engines is coming to an end.
This scandal exposed not only an ethical issue where animals and human subjects are used for harmful emissions tests
but also the predicament that businesses are suffering during their operation amid the dawn of new technologies and
industries. Facing such enormous transformation, businesses will have to overcome a huge challenge to survive. In
this regard, this scandal acts as good insight into what they have to do from a business ethics point of view for their
survival in the new era.

2. Haribo's Gummy Bear Jelly and Business Ethics, Professor Ko Young-Hee, March 2, 2018
The gummy bear-shaped jelly from Haribo, a global confectionery maker, is a highly popular product that has also
been imported to Korea in large quantities and commonly offered in countless retailers including duty-free shops
around the world.
The company though came under harsh criticism after a German public TV station revealed that cabana wax, one of
the jelly's main ingredients, is produced by slave labor at plantations in Brazil. The coverage, which highlights how
Haribo's supply chain management practices have aggravated the working environment for Brazilian workers, shows
that the issue of labor ethics, often resulting from innovative operating practices that many businesses adopt to
maximize their productivity, is no exception even in the food industry that has to meet children's needs. According to
the coverage, workers involved in the production of cabana wax in Brazil are paid very little while having to work for
extended hours, and some of the workers are even underage. Cabana wax is only available in the northeastern part of
Brazil, which is known to be the poorest region in the country.
After the airing of the documentary, Haribo promised to conduct an audit on its suppliers and disclose its findings. At
the same time, there was a strong call in Germany urging that the French approach should be adopted. This approach
requires that suppliers operating in a large corporation's supply chain must be supervised for any human rights
violations regardless of whether they have direct contract with the corporation or not.
With well-known products from multi-national corporations increasing their shares not only in Korea but also in the
global market and many products that we use in our daily lives actually being produced with quite a few ethical issues,
the fact that even gummy bears that children are fond of are made by some people's sacrifice must not be ignored and
should be addressed. It is everybody's responsibility to watch closely if there are any ethical issues with any of the
products we use during their push for cost competitiveness and pursuit of innovation.

3. Rediscovery of Milk: Mi Terro, Professor Kim Bo-Yeong, Sep. 14, 2019

The use of recycled materials is no longer a new trend in the global fashion industry. Many fashion brands around the
world have launched green marketing activities on or around Earth Day (April 22), unveiling eco-friendly products
and new recycled materials that they have developed. For example, Ralph Lauren has unveiled a polo shirt made of
recycled materials from 12 plastic bottles. The brand also announced a plan to recycle a total of 1.7 million plastic
bottles by 2015 as part of its strategy to establish itself as an eco-friendly brand and stimulate customers to be more
conscious about consumption.

8
Such a wide use of recycled materials has led to a wide variety of collaborations, among them is Hyundai Motors. The
company's affiliate Hyundai Transys and Maria Cornejo, a US-based green luxury fashion brand, worked together to
debut a green collection during New York Fashion Week. The collection was made of waste leather from Hyundai
Transys' R&D activities on car seats. Maria Cornejo is a leading brand that has many US celebrities as its customers.
It values environmental protection and thus uses sustainable materials such as plant-derived pigments and eco-friendly
silk instead of chemical products. As part of the collaboration with Hyundai, the brand also unveiled tote bags made of
waste airbags with a view to greater communication with millennials who are fond of green consumption through a
creative approach to a variety of recycled materials.
Another notable recycled material is milk fiber. Since expiry dates are critical to milk, there are limits to recycling of
expired milk as powdered milk or cheese. One way of recycling expired milk is to create fiber out of it: fat is removed
from the milk, and the remainder is dried until it becomes powder. All substances are then removed from it except
casein; then casein is soaked into an alkali solution before fiber is derived through a nozzle; finally, alkali is removed
using sulfuric acid to attain milk fiber.
This technology was developed in the 1930s but was not used in a commercial manner until Mi Terro, a U.S. startup,
decided to adopt the technology to make T-shirts. True to its status as a startup, it launched its products and raised
funds through a Kickstarter crowdfunding effort. Fabric made of milk fiber is smooth like silk and provides such
advantages as resistance to bacteria, insulation, wrinkle-free, absorption of moist, and blocking of UV. Most
importantly, it has sufficient elasticity, making it a good material for clothes. Mi Terro's T-shirts have micro-pockets in
their fabric that can trap foul odors while optimizing the flow of air, which makes consumers feel refreshed when
putting them on. This is a good approach to introducing green products to consumers.
Ironically, cafes that offer plastic straws are under pressure from consumers as recycled straws are adopted on a wider
scale. However, these social changes toward adopting green approaches will keep growing, and more recycling
technologies developed a long time ago will find new life to be commercialized and used for making useful products
for us. Today, recycling is not only restricted to the environment, it is now changing society and gives birth to new
business models. It is time to redefine the term “recycling” from “converting waste materials into new materials and
objects” to “getting back on the right track out of hopelessness.”

Our school’s guiding idea is the 4Ts (eThics, sTorytelling, Teamwork, Technology). It specifically emphasizes
ethical management and helps to share ethics-related issues among members. Therefore, we would like to request a
mini-lecture on ethics for about 5 minutes, related to the lecture content and/or any ethics-related issues the professor
may have heard or experienced.

2. Points to Remember
1) An attendance check will be performed with the assistance of a class coordinator and a staff member for each
class. If a student needs to be absent for any unforeseen circumstance, one must submit a Notice of Absence form
to the class coordinator.
2) A digital file of attendance results will be given to the professor after completion of the module via email. Along
with the reasons for absences of the students who have turned in the Notice of Absence forms in advance, it is
recommended that the professor collect the written explanations and distinguish them with the uninformed
absences when allocating grades.
3) Please adhere to the lecture dates and times.
4) During the final exam, the professor will be required to remain in the classroom to respond to any inquires the

5) If a student is unable to submit a report on time, it will be forwarded to the professor by the class coordinator.

3. Course Evaluation
Course evaluations will be performed twice online, once during as well as once after the completion of the module.
The mid-term evaluation results will be delivered to the professor through the class coordinator verbally when there
are student opinions on the class. A final course evaluation will be completed by each student after the completion of
the module. The results of the final evaluation will be on hold for release until student grades have been returned. A
summary of the final course evaluation will then be sent to the professor by the class coordinator, and according to
school regulations, the results can be published.

4. Deadline for Submitting the Grade Sheet

Grading sheets should contain detailed scores and ranges for each grade level, and submitted within 7 days from
the module completion date. After the professor finishes grading, he or she should send the grade records with one’s
electronic signature to the class coordinator.
The score range the professor has set for each grade will be used if the students should question how they were
graded.
5. Grade Appeal
1) If students question their grades, they will be required to make an appeal within 7 days after the grades have
become available. The class coordinator will collect the forms and deliver them to the professor.
2) The professor should review the contents, decide whether to adjust their grades, write his or her decision and
return them with one’s electronic signature to the class coordinator within 7 days from the date of receipt.
3) The results of the grade appeal will be informed to students by the class coordinator.
4) After 7 days when grades have become available, changes are not permitted. In the case where there are errors,
there is a possibility a form for changing the grade, with documentary evidence such as exam answer sheets, will
be submitted. In that case, it will be processed under the “Grading & School Register” rules.
