Question

Report from a fired researcher at the company indicates the company's product is releasing toxic by-products. The company suppressed that report. A later report commissioned by the company shows there is no problem with the fertilizer. Exercises Should the company's chief executive officer reveal the content of the unfavorable report in discussions with Yellowstone County representatives? Discuss.

Answer 1

The given situation comes under professional ethics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Professional ethics are values that regulate the behavior of a person or a business group. They are like rules telling how a person should act in given situations.

Many times, only the legally correct statements are not enough. When the company's chief executive officer has a discussion with Yellowstone County representatives, he should disclose both the reports. By doing so, he would follow professional ethics of not suppressing reports about the toxic by-products. He could also show any flaws in the report of the fired researcher.
