When is Apple no longer responsible of the ethics of business in the supply chain? The point I’m trying to make is this: An Employee of Apple sources an amount of raw material to support the production of a product, at 1/2 of what the company was sourcing it at. In business this is known as cost savings, which improves the return on investment and produces larger returns on the products, which makes the stock price go up and could make the product cheaper. If this happens (which I thinks it does) the individual that sourced the material for cheaper, probably got accolades from managers, possibly a bonus, maybe a promotion and pay raise. SOO, who is to blame here? The individual who sourced it for cheap? or the company that wrote the check to purchase the material or the company that sold the material for cheap?
This can be a three way ethics issue, in reality I think the real problem is the ethics of the company that is selling it for cheap because they have the unethical labor issues and the unethical mining practices and probably other issue.
To resolve this I think our proposal should include some “international business ethics laws” or something like that. This could make it so that companies that do not meet the ethics portion of business, will not be able to conduct business internationally. Its a though, but the reality is impossible due to the different cultures that are at the international level. It would also drive the cost of manufacturing towards the moon and possibly end technological advances period.
