British Petroleum (BP) is one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world. In 2010, two BP oil rigs were damaged in the Gulf of Mexico, spilling millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf. This spill had widespread negative impacts. It damaged local ecosystems and fishing communities, harmed wildlife, and hurt BP's reputation. To improve its social responsibility and address such issues, BP could ensure it uses only high-quality petroleum to reduce pollution, offer rewards programs to encourage fuel purchases and donations to charity, and strengthen environmental protections to prevent future spills from damaging the environment or people's health. Taking such actions would help BP rebuild trust and demonstrate its commitment to sustainability.
Fish farming is a controversial issue regarding its sustainability and impact on the environment. WWF focuses on conserving biodiversity and ensuring sustainable use of natural resources. As a leading environmental NGO, WWF engages in the debate around fish farming. They frame fish farming negatively, arguing it pollutes the environment and harms fish welfare. WWF partners with other environmental groups to raise awareness and advocate for more sustainable practices. Their goal is to convince consumers, fisheries, and governments to only support sustainable fish farming methods to conserve fish stocks and protect the environment.
The document discusses the growing agenda of ethical consumerism. It summarizes that the sustainability debate is now driven more by consumers and social media than business-to-business factors. Private standards set by companies are becoming more visible to consumers and can impact market access more than public regulations. It also provides an overview of Meatco's operations in Namibia and how the company is addressing issues of social, environmental, and economic sustainability to remain competitive in global markets sensitive to ethical concerns.
The document summarizes BP's response and plans to reverse damage caused by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. BP is committing funds to clean up beaches, restore the tourism and seafood industries, research alternative fuel sources, and hire local workers for clean up. BP is also paying all legitimate claims for damages and monitoring seafood safety.
The document discusses using life cycle assessment (LCA) to analyze the environmental and social impacts of seafood production and consumption. It notes that overfishing has depleted fish populations while aquaculture has its own issues. Transforming the seafood industry will require engaging regulators, consumers, and industry. Examples are given of companies promoting more sustainable seafood choices and using LCA to reduce their carbon footprints and environmental impacts across supply chains. The document calls for further applied LCA research that can be used by consumers and industry to promote more sustainable seafood and food systems.
United Nations Pipe-Dream : Climate Change and Biodiversity TERRE Policy Centre
The document discusses the need for an international climate agreement and progress made at the 2014 UN Climate Summit. It summarizes that while the Kyoto Protocol failed to meaningfully reduce emissions, many new commitments were made at the summit by countries, cities, and businesses to cut emissions and increase climate financing. However, an overarching international agreement is still needed to coordinate actions and fill remaining gaps to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius.
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an international non-profit organization focused on conservation, founded in 1961.

It will use facts about threatened species like polar bears and penguins, as well as data on its responsible spending, to advocate for urgent action on climate change through a new public campaign.
British Petroleum [Case Study : Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill]Navitha Pereira
The document summarizes the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill caused by BP. It describes how the oil rig explosion led to the largest marine oil spill in history, spilling millions of barrels of oil over 87 days. It examines how BP violated safety regulations and ignored warning signs, causing immense environmental and economic impacts. Stakeholders like the environment, residents, and BP itself suffered major consequences. The conclusion states that prioritizing safety should be a top concern for all companies as part of their social responsibility.

The document summarizes the global farmed shrimp industry. It notes that shrimp farming accounts for over half of the world's shrimp supply, with most production occurring in Asia. The rapid growth of intensive shrimp farming has led to disease outbreaks and environmental and social challenges. Specifically, reports have uncovered instances of human trafficking and slavery in the Thai shrimp feed industry. Despite these issues, global demand for shrimp remains strong, creating opportunities to invest in more sustainable shrimp farming technologies and practices.
This proposal suggests mainstreaming the National Greening Program (NGP) into the Provincial Greening Program (PGP) in Southern Leyte, Philippines. It proposes establishing 150 community school tree nurseries that would produce 3 million coffee and cacao seedlings per year. This would generate an estimated PHP 1.05 million in annual income for farmers after 3-5 years and PHP 525 million annually thereafter. It would provide livelihoods for communities involved in composting, bamboo and nipa production for the nurseries. The goal is to empower schools through community-shared agriculture and environmental education while alleviating poverty and building climate resilience.

The report also provides a financial overview and recognizes affiliate offices and partners.
The document examines the policies and practices of the world's 10 largest food and beverage companies (the "Big 10") and their impact on creating a just and sustainable global food system. It finds that while these companies have grown enormously profitable by relying on cheap land and labor, their operations have often negatively impacted small-scale farmers, farm workers, and local communities around the world. The document calls on the Big 10 to implement stronger policies to protect human rights, ensure fair wages and prices for farmers, curb environmental impacts, and increase transparency throughout their supply chains. It introduces Oxfam's "Behind the Brands" campaign which evaluates the Big 10's policies in these areas and aims to drive public pressure on the companies to
The document discusses the sustainability issues facing Sao Paulo, Brazil and opportunities for improvement. It identifies key problems with water (treatment and availability), trash/recycling, air pollution, and exploitation of natural resources.

BP is one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world. However, it has a history of accidents due to failures to prioritize safety over profits. This includes an explosion at a Texas refinery that killed 15 workers and the Deepwater Horizon spill that released millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. According to utilitarian ethics, BP's decisions that emphasized costs cuts over safety were unethical as they resulted in significant harm. For BP to avoid future disasters, it needs to incorporate environmental and social sustainability into its practices rather than just focusing on economic profits.

Two general technology trends in my workplace are that EHRs.docxwrite5
Two technology trends in the workplace are increasing use of complex electronic health records (EHRs) and patients using smartphone apps for healthcare. The author discusses their experience transitioning between two EHRs - AURA which was less sophisticated, and EPIC which is more complex but customizable and allows greater communication between providers. Another trend is greater integration of devices and artificial intelligence into EHRs for automated data entry. However, overreliance on technology could replace sound clinical judgment, so nurses must use technology as a tool rather than a replacement for care. Patients are also increasingly using the internet and health apps, so providers should guide patients to evaluate online information for accuracy.

and it brings huge damage affection on the sea environment, such as fish, sea and water
plants. Also it affects people and all animals, in this local area, because it might be a
people’ s and animals way of getting food, as fishing was popular in this area. These
damaging’ s was a bad impact on hall world, because lots of animals were painted by oil,
which live in the see, such as Flamingos, Fish and lots of Birds.Local- group of people in
certain local area, which is concentrated in one exact area, such as small village or city.
These group of people could be affected, if something would happened in this area, such as
when BP’ s tankers were damaged, group of people were affected, because see might was
their suppliers of food, such as for fishers, or local restaurants could be affected as well,
because they need to find new supplier of seafood, which would more expensive to
them.Regional- when group of people is located in a big region and could be affected by any
damaging in this local area, which they are concentrating on. When BP’ s tankers were
damages, regional area was affected also, because see was a supplier for all their
seafood.National- groups of people, which is concentrated on national problems, such as
problems of any country. People with different nationality, but who live in certain country
are affected as well. When BP’ s tankers were damaged, Mexico was affected, as a full
country and it was an international problem. Thus Gulf was a resort for tourists and some
companies, or hotels were affected, because nobody was coming to their resorts.Damaging
of BP’ s tankers was an international, local, regional and national problem, because oiled
water brings to coasts a lot of dead fish and any other animals, which were painted. Country
2. loosed their resorts and suppliers of fish. People, which live in this local area, were affected,
because they might stayed without water and food. Fishers lost their jobs and national trust
can sue BP for damaging nature.Pressure groups- the grouped of individuals which have a
positive impact on the organisation such as BP and their actions could produce changes in
policies of business in order to make the more ethical.Pressure groups have an impact on
the organisation such as BP in the situation, which happened few years ago, when the oil
spoiled the oceanic water. Special organisation or pressure group such as Green Peace
which protect the nature and environment of our planet report to the organisation about
this complaints and BP has been forced to clean the water of Mexican gulf in order to safe
sea life. Also Greenpeace report about this problem to the government and BP receive
penalties which refers to reduce and stop at all product their oil in their business. These
penalties influenced on a bad way and decrease the overall profit of the BP.BP has also been
affected by the Friends of Earth, which is also another pressure group which aim is to
improve our environment. This organisation was trying to influence on the BP and report
about the complaints to government about issues which have been happened in the
Mexican Gulf in 2011. The friends of earth want to ban the BP organisation as they impact
on the earth in a bad way, as well they want BP to pay penalties in order to spend them on
those damages and cover all expenditures.Oversees bodies – is specials organisation which
could be either national or international. Their aim is to ensure that business such as BP is
ethical and act in a right way against their stakeholders, environment.Oversees
bodies:Government – help to make stable the economy in the world and operations in the
organisation such as BP. Not few times ago government force BP to decrease the prices for
their oil products in order to satisfy the needs of consumers.European Unions – is one of
the oversizing body for European countries and they help to make sure all of them buy
receive oil for the fare price and right amount of it. This should also be recorded.United
Unions – organisation which is in the government and help orrganisations with their
promotions in the international market, where business such as BP also participate in this
program and the exchange from the sales of they oil they get a foodWorld Trade
organisation – this organisation help to make sure that business such as BP act in a fare
way against their customers or consumers or when they trade with other organisations. The
purpose of this organisation is to check that BP follow all the laws and policies in order to
make actions more ethical against consumers.World health organisation – this organisation
force business such as BP to not break the regulation which are relate to health and Safety
as well as to make sure that BP doesn’ t have an impact on the environment in order to not
destroy the health of customers and employees in BP. BP is always thinking about their
actions and how much pollution they produce in order to decrease the impact on the
environment.Some of the issues that BP’ s communities facing:Corporate social
responsibility – BP Is the responsible one for their product also services that they give to
their customer. But in 2010 BP by accident had a huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, this lost
BP 4 Million barrels worth of oil. This seriously affects the sea and killed lots of fish life. This
also affected the local community because water was polluted. Because of this problem the
government had to spend large amount of money to try and solve the issue..The cultural
imperialism it is practicing and the promoting of politically powerful other nations using the
3. help of less powerful groups or societies. This is what BP had done, they are very powerful;
because of this they as a organisation they are more favorable with the public more and
better than smaller less powerful organisations.Ecology is all to do with the outdoors,
nature and the wild animals that live on the plant and try to sustain it. This will sum a
picture up of the planet and this is what ecology is.But for our planet to have a good ecology
large organisations like BP oil need to lower the pollution they pollute on earth. But BP have
to more and transport their petrol and in doing this BP will be damaging the earth with gas
pollution; greenhouse effects and also the global warming.Environment: is the nature and
the wildlife all around us that we are surrounded by. BP has a very great impact on this,
here is an example; spoiling the natural water with oil and petrol leaking in it this deceases
sea life and increases pollution.Fair Trade: is when the company fairness in their selling’ s,
where their products and services are able for comfortable prices, so for different price
customers would get different quality.Corruption- illegal process, which covers issues and
unethical moments in company, which are usually related to finance. When this situation in
Mexico happened, a lot of newspapers and TV shows were talking about this problem, also
internet contained a lot of information, so it could bring to BP trouble, such as bad
reputation and bad impact on business. BP pay huge amount of money to organisations,
which contain information about this problem in order to not decrease their
reputation.Child labour- when company has employees under 16 years and they are paying
to them lees money for their work. BP doesn’ t have any employees under 16 years
old.Outsourcing- is when company forces another organisations in order to complete new
job to get more profit, but it doesn’ t relate to BP, because they have full control in their
business.Personal attitudes- personal characteristics and characters, so it describes
relationships between customers. Sometimes these relationships might be negative and
people could have problems between each other, so it could stop production of
business.Ethical concerns of BP in local communitiesGlobal Communities groups of people,
which have huge amount of issues from the BP company. The main issues in environment,
because BP are producing their products, which affect on the nature, such as it creates
pollution in the air, so company damage natural world. It damages also plants, which are
suppliers of food for animals, so they are affected by this problem. Company pollute water
and small lakes, so Natural Protection could damage them. In order to increase their
reputation they made a corruption process after situation in Mexico, where they pollute
Mexican Gulf. They pay money to businesses in order to delete all information, which could
badly impact on BP.Local and Regional communities- groups, which are affected by ethics in
BP. Animals, fish and plants were mostly affected and damaged by this accidents, which was
happened in Mexico. Oil pollution damaged local communities, because fishers stayed
without any food from the sea, and restaurants and markets needs to find new suppliers for
seafood. As ocean water arrived on the coast, local community is affected as well, because
people cannot walk on the beach and nature was damaged. It is a huge problem for BP,
because it is unethical for them. As they are always damaged an ecology of country, it is
their another huge issue, because they damaged main part of county, in which plants are
mostly growing. Water becomes not acceptable for drinking or fishing and air is
dangerous.National communities- these communities could be affected by prices for BP oil
4. and gas, but BP has a good reputation in their sphere, so they are one of the best suppliers
of gas and oil products. Company sometimes can put shocked prices, but quality of products
are still the best and countries are buying them.M3How British Petrol can improve their
social responsibility?Suggestion 1:If BP would use low quality petroleum, could bring world
to lots of environmental problems. Cars would burn low quality petroleum and it would
produce more CO2 in the air, which would bring world to green house effect. This effect is
the main reason of global warming in the world and could increase water level across hall
world, so it is a negative impact on the world.It might affect global and regional
communities, such as huge amount of countries across hall world would receive low-quality
petroleum, which produce CO2. This is bad impact on the world, because this petroleum is
burning in lots of countries, so it would bring to the global problem, because this petroleum
would cause global warming for world, so it is unethically movements of BP and main issue
of the company. Community would also understand, that BP sells bad quality products, and
their reputation would straightly decrease.The best decision for this problem could be, as
company needs to sell high-quality petroleum, so their wastes would not bring as much
problems. Wastes would probably become smaller and bad reviews from people would
decrease. Company needs to sell “ 95” fuel, so it might decrease problems of the world. This
would show, that company cares about world situation and nature; also it would show that
company is honest and would like to sell the best products to countries.Suggestion 2:Groups
of people, which are often use BP Petroleum stations could get any gifts, or special cards,
which gives possibility to them to buy something for bonuses, or buy fuel for them.Amount
of countries could be not as much, as it possible, because some countries are poor and
people don’ t have huge amount of money to buy BP products. That’ s why there are no
petroleum BP stations in Africa; people are just not able to buy their products.To increase
reputation of BP company could make some special offers in rich countries in order to
collect money for charity to poor countries, such as Bangladesh, or countries in Africa,
which have poor quality of life, where children don’ t have any food. Also company could
create an offer, such as people would send to these countries their gift cards, which they get
on Petrol Station. It might give a possibility to African children to get an education and eat
healthy.Suggestion 3:In 2010 BP made a bad impact on the world ecology, as the damaging
of oil machines in the Mexican see. It brings company to huge money loosing, a lot of dead
fishes and any other local and national problems.It was affected on the global community,
because water becomes dirty and unsustainable for animals, plants and fish. Company
brings ocean to full death of 90 percent of fish and destroyed life of huge amount of animals.
Later these products might be sold on the market and people’ s health could be damaged as
well, because these products contain a lot of oil. People were needed to make sure, that
products on market are healthy, because it is easy way to damage body organs. This actions
shows, that BP is not ethical company and their reputation decreased straightly after this
situation.I could advice to company to make sure, that their wastes are not going to see, or
any natural environment. They need to put good cleaning systems in places, where wastes
are going and make sure, that they are not damaging anything. It would help to them to
make sure, that same situation in Mexico would never happened again and it would
decrease amount of oil, which could damage animals, fish or plant in sees or oceans. People
5. would respect their organisation and would understand, that food on the markets near see
or ocean is absolutely healthy and they couldn’ t bring any damage for their health’ s. BP
would give to people understanding, that they are honest company and they care about
natural environment, so ecology of earth is increasing. It would help them to increase
reputation and they would get only best reviews.
