Provide a 10 pages analysis while answering the following question: Natural Energy and Human Habitat. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The company is faced with the ethical issue of being environmentally conscious and pro-green operations while having to dump the sewer waste in the Chavon River. This poses a major issue for the company.

Legally there exist no laws that the company would be breaking if it decides to continue on the suggestion provided by Teltec and dump its sewer waste in the Chavon River. However, the increasing interest in environmental protection including protecting Earth’s water resources can lead to a lawsuit in the future by the Dominican Republic or the community living near the river against the company for dumping its waste in the Chavon River. Moreover, consumer action groups can take action against the company for not upholding its social corporate responsibility by polluting its regions of operation in Dominican with the dumping of sewer waste in the Chavon River.

In Economic terms, the company would be better off dumping its waste in the river as the company would not have to deal with the extensive costs of setting up a treatment plant, and treating the waste before it gets dumped into the river. In the short term, this is going to be economically feasible and profitable for the company. However, with the passage of time, the amount of pollution being driven into the river is going to increase while increasing the pollution levels and concentration as well. At this position, it would not be economically suitable or viable for the company to continue dumping untreated sewage into the river as counter lawsuits and legal action can raise fines for the company that would have to be met and alternatives to dumping would have to be developed at additional costs.

From the ethical perspective, the issue that the Clean Power Company would be facing pertains to the ethical dilemma of not acting upon one’s own vision and strategy for business. The company manufactures energy-efficient products with the vision of increasing awareness amongst the consumers for environmental sustainability while still earning profits from the sale of the energy regulators.
