"Business, Ethics and the Environment" explores the public
policy debate surrounding the issue of business and its role in
environmental matters. Unlike other discussions on this subject,
the major focus here is not the monetary cost/benefit of
environmental protection, but instead, the ethical obligations
businesses may have for protecting the environment. A variety of
questions are addressed by the contributors, including: Are
businesses obligated to protect the environment? Should private
enterprises take an active and leading role in solving a national
problem? Should the solution be entirely a matter of public policy,
involving business only to the extent that businesses are bound by
law?
The work begins with a brief foreword by W. Michael Hoffman and
an introduction by Robert Fredrick that outlines a framework for
the debate and the major questions it entails. The essays are
grouped in three separate sections, covering business and
government interaction, public attitudes and involvement in
environmental issues, and environmental problems and solutions. The
first of these sections addresses a variety of topics and case
studies, including hazardous waste management, low-level
radioactive waste facilities, lessons from CPC regulation, and a
Massachusetts solid waste dispute. The second section features a
range of issues involving the public, such as the world-wide
response to the environmental crisis, customers as
environmentalists, and community-corporate conflict and the new
environmentalism. Finally, the third section highlights such
problems as the dolphin-tuna controversy, the use of animals by
business, and international toxic waste trade. The work concludes
with a comprehensive index. As a companion to "The Corporation,
Ethics, and the Environment," this volume of essays will be an
important resource for courses in business, public policy, and
environmental issues, as well as a useful addition to business,
academic, and public libraries.
