Quick student answer

Explain how a small manufacturer can demonstrate ethical behaviour towards its employees.

Direct answer

A small manufacturer can demonstrate ethical behaviour by ensuring fair wages that meet or exceed the living wage, providing safe and healthy working conditions, offering training and career development opportunities, respecting workers’ rights to unionise, and maintaining transparent communication about company policies and decisions.

How it works

The answer covers key ethical practices: fair pay, safety, development, rights, and transparency. These actions show respect for employees and align with ethical business standards.

Key terms

  • Ethical sourcing: The practice of ensuring that the materials and products a company purchases are produced in a way that respects human rights, environmental standards, and fair labour practices.

Common trap

Assuming all ethical practices increase profit: Ethical practices can improve reputation and long‑term sustainability but may involve short‑term costs; the relationship between ethics and profit is conditional.
