Select two real$-$life organisations from the Wholesale and Retail Trade Industry $($one

from each industry$).$

You are to compare and contrast the business ethics, responsibility and sustainability

programs and practices in these two organisations. These organisations should be

international companies but not be new start$-$ups or government$-$sector type entities.

They can be commercial, private or non$-$profit organisations.

You are to address these areas in your chosen organisations by offering academic

alignment to the business ethical theories and principles covered within the taught

module.

$[1]$ Examine the present business ethics philosophies & practises, and the impact to

their stakeholders by highlighting the predominant ethical view$($s$)$ adopted by the

organisations, specifically identifying whether a consequential vs non$-$

consequential view is evident. To support your view$/$discussion in establishing the

ethical stance, you must highlight practical examples from both organisations

regarding their norms $($procedures$,$ processes$)$ and behaviour $($actions and

practices$).$

$[2]$ Analyse the key challenges that each organisation face when dealing with

expectations from their stakeholders, like: the Government, Civil Society,

Consumers, Suppliers, Employees and other stakeholders. You should also

discuss the difficulties that each organisation encounter when maintaining their

current sustainability programs $($using the concept of People, Profit and Planet

themes from the module syllabus$).$

$[3]$ Offer recommendations to each organisation on what more they can do to improve

or enhance their current and future sustainability practices. Your

recommendations can cover $($not limited to$)$ overcoming consumerism, promoting

$$Green$$ practices, developing sustainable programs, ethical sourcing, embarking

on triple$-$bottom$-$line ethics & long$-$term sustainability strategies.
