Keystone XL Pipeline Project

You should:

Gather
the relevant facts relating to the given ethical scenario (background –
all parties involved in oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico – who, what,
where, when, how and why).
Recognizing Ethical Dilemmas (Positive and negative externalities)
Identify the affected parties (stakeholders and the consequences on each)
Think creatively about potential actions (future of environmental management accounting)
If you are a manager in charge – WHAT will you do?

Corporations should have a duty not only to shareholders, but other groups (stakeholders) affected by corporate actions.

Ethical dilemmas in sustainability programs may include:

Budget constraints.

Decision-making responsibility.

Health concerns

In
a broad construction of the ethical role of the manager, managing and
leading can be said to be inherently ethics-laden tasks because every
managerial decision affect either people or the natural environment in
some way—and those effects or impacts need to be taken into
consideration as decisions are made. A narrower construction of the
ethical role of the manager is that managers should serve only the
interests of the shareholder; that is, their sole ethical task is to
meet the fiduciary obligation to maximize shareholder wealth that is
embedded in the law, predominantly that of the United States, although
this point of view is increasingly accepted in other parts of the world.
Even in this narrow view, however, although not always recognized
explicitly, ethics are at the core of management practice.
