    Which TWO of the following are most likely to raise ethical problems or concerns for a company?

    It promotes diversity and equal opportunities amongst its workforce

    The health and safety inspector feels that the fire exits from its factory are very poorly identified and could make the factory unsafe in the event of a fire

    A human rights group has recently exposed that one of the company’s main suppliers is using child labour and is paying its staff very low wages

    Recent customer surveys have voted the company’s product as the worst value for money among its competitors

    Answer are 2 and 3. I did 3 and 4.
    I am confused that company have health and safety laws which ask to provide a safe environment so not obeying to it should be a crime. Unethical is way behind it.
    Fourth is kind of unethical for me. We are charging way more. I was not much satisfied with this but better than B.

    We all agree on 1 (no problem) and 3 (problem).

    2 The HS inspector FEELS there is a problem. It is not unusual for different inspectors to have different opinions so it could be an ethical issue if the company were to refuse to act – perhaps to save money. Not obeying the law would be unethical.

    4 This is just a commercial/competitive issue. Offering a product that is not thought to be good value for money is not unethical……it’s probably just doomed. If the company were making untrue claims about a product, then that would be unethical and would probably be a misrepresentation under the law. However, there is no sign of that in the question.
