Over the years, the Red Cross has been guided in its use of donations by honoring donor intent. This policy helped the organization deal with a major ethical challenge after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Red Cross received more than $1 billion in donations and initially diverted some money to ancillary operations, such as creating a strategic blood reserve. After donors objected, however, the organization reversed its decision and – honoring donor intent – used the contributions to directly benefit people affected by the tragedy. Should the American Red Cross have reversed its initial decision to divert some of the money donated for September 11 relief efforts to pressing but ancillary operations?

The company, which captures 70 percent of the U.S. diesel-powered passenger-car market, was caught cheating on diesel emissions tests. Over the past many years, Volkswagen had installed software on more than half a million diesel cars in the United States—and roughly 10.5 million more worldwide—that detected when the cars were undergoing emissions tests and triggered so-called “defeat devices” that temporarily switched operating modes and allowed them to pass the tests. VW diesel autos were found to actually be emitting up to 40 times the allowable levels of nitrogen oxide pollutants. Volkswagen has long pitched its diesel cars as efficient, nonpolluting vehicles. But in 2008, when U.S. rules on diesel exhaust became stricter, VW faced difficulties meeting the new standards and living up to its “clean diesel” advertising promises and image. So, under competitive pressures, it covertly installed the secret…arrow_forwardPreparation Corporate social responsibility (CSR, also called corporate conscience, corporate citizenship, or responsible business) is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. CSR policy functions as a self-regulatory mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards, and national or international norms. With some models, a firm's implementation of CSR goes beyond compliance and engages in "actions that appeár to further some social good, beyond the interests of the firm and that which is required by law."

CSR strategies encourage the company to make a positive impact on the environment and stakeholders including consumers, employees, investors, communities, and others. Every year,…arrow_forward

If the employees challenge this rule in court, will the rule be upheld? What is a police state? If the United States were a police state, privacy and other rights that we often take for granted could be commonplace and easily justified in the interest of security.

Traders will also be required to conduct due diligence on their customers and track the origins of their products, the National Treasury said in the annual budget review, which was published in Cape Town on Wednesday. Cable theft and vandalism is undermining the government’s efforts to revive the coronavirus- battered economy by bolstering more infrastructure investment, enhancing the power supply and improving transport links. Freight rail operator Transnet, telecommunications company Telkom, power utility Eskom Holdings and the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa estimate that thieves and vandals cost them a total of 7 billion ($459 million) a year.
