XYZ Tech Solutions, a prominent multinational tech company known for its innovative software, is facing

a series of ethical challenges necessitating immediate attention. Within the organization, reports and
testimonials have surfaced, revealing instances of unequal treatment and discrimination. This is raising

satisfaction. Moreover, the company faces scrutiny in its supply chain operations, where they get materials
for their products, with recent investigations exposing unethical practices such as the use of child labor and
unsafe working conditions. This is not only against human rights but also bad for the company's reputation.

losing trust from customers and getting a bad reputation.
