1, Sustainable Environment for the Future
2. James Greene
3. Professor Laura
4. University Of Redlands
5. Sustainable Environment for the Future
NP6. Business ethics determines how an organization conduct
their operations towards enhancing a sustainable environment.
7. According to the (United Nations General Assembly, 1987),
Environmental sustainability refers “to developments which
meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability
of the future generations to meet their own needs.” 8. Currently,
across the world, there are over 150 developing countries, thus
seeking means to meet their development requirements. 9.
However, with increasing climate change threats, concrete
efforts are necessary to ensure today’s development does not

negatively affect future generations. 10. Future generation (s),
in this case, refers to individuals who are expected to come in
the future (those yet to be born), after the currently living
generations of humans perish (Attfield 2014). 11. It thus means
current generations owe a duty to future generations. 12. They
have to enhance this duty by producing a product and
conducting business in an environmentally sustainable manner,
thus assuring the future generations inheriting a livable planet,
even if it will mean the current generations to sacrifice many
preferences in the contemporary lifestyle.
NP13. Every organization, whether in the current era or the
previous era, has always drawn resources from society. 14. As a
result of such an act, they tend to be answerable to the
community at large. 15. Generally, business organizations have
accountability for their actions to enhance a sustainable
environment, which can lead to the betterment of the future
society and not otherwise. 16. Every business organization in
the current era must produce such goods and services that
should be pro-environment (that is environment friendly) and
are not toxic or harmful towards the environment in any sense
whatsoever.
17. Kohlberg’s Moral Development Model
NP18. Understanding the morals of development is vital in
ensuring a sustainable environment. 19. Across the global
supply chains, business organizations face various moral
challenging situations as they strive to pursue corporate profits.
20. In the current generation, professionals experience morally
challenging problems while performing their duties. 21.
However, “they play vital roles in corporate moral ability to
build sustainable businesses and supply chains” (Ha-Brookshire
et al. 2017). 22. It is, therefore, essential to review educational
materials and theories such as Kohlberg theory that strive to
teach and warn people about morality behaviors, sound effects
that hurt the environment.
NP23. Kohlberg’s theory is a useful framework of moral ability

as theorized through the use of the six stages of moral
development in human progress. 24. Kohlberg’s theory of moral
evolution states that individuals can only progress through three
levels of ethical thinking, which build on their cognitive
developments. 25. In this theory, Kohlberg explained, “how
every person will respond at each stage and will be able to
respond to various types of moral dilemmas by use of different
reasoning levels” (Gibbs 2019). 26. It thus means, by grasping
the basis of this theory, individuals and businesses can realize
the importance of conserving the environment to build a better
planet for future generations.
NP27. Kohlberg defined this theory in three levels of moral
development pre-convectional, convectional, and post-
convectional, with distinct stages. 28. Kohlberg, in the pre-
convectional level, argues that moral rules are controlled
externally from the person facing ethical dilemmas (Ha-
Brookshire et al. 2017). 29. It thus means ethical standards and
desires are given to the individual who must adhere to these
principles. 30. The individual does not have to make sense of
whether conduct is fortunate or unfortunate because the choice
was at that point made by external entities. 31. This way, both
businesses and individuals will be able to figure out actions and
judge them as per the based activities. 32. On the convectional
levels, an individual can disguise the expectations of the
community or society. 33. That is, “the individual knows about
and expected to follow social standards, and the person does so
because the objective of good thinking at this stage is not to
disturb the entire community, for example, specialty unit, firm,
or even the business” (Ha-Brookshire et al. 2017). 34. During
the post-conventional level, the specific guidelines are
unmistakably distinguished instead of given by a position. 35.
At the point when the social standards and the individual’s
principles are not steady, “the individual at this stage can move
the social norms and attempt to change the sub-par social rules
for the more noteworthy population” (Ha-Brookshire et al.
2017).

36. The Kew Garden Principles
NP37. The sustainable environment requires observation of
crucial aspects that influence our day to day life. 38. People
have moral sensibility in their face of critical human need, those
close to that need, and those who have the power to do
something about it. 39. According to the Kew Garden
Principles, individuals are thus able to understand the basic
needs of the environment, thus maintaining sustainability. 40.
Need is one of the first New Garden Principles (Singal, 2014).
41. It states that individuals are required to move out of their
ways to fix all trivial problems they come across. 42. However,
the higher the need, the greater they have to address. The
second principle is proximity. 43. It says the closer an
individual is to a problem, the more they are expected to do
something about it. 44. The environment can have physical
proximity, although individuals can be close to the issue in
more complex ways if it involves persons who are well known.
45. The third principle is the capability. 46. It states ethics do
not require individuals to take problems, but they can fix them.
47. The current generation is expected to sacrifice and save the
world for the sake of future generations. 48. Last New Gardens
Principle is the last resort. It states that if there is no else who
is likely to help individuals, thus have a more significant duty
to act. 49. When there is the uncertainty of other individual’s
availability to help, those available should err on the caution
side and work as if they are the last resort. 50. By observing
these principles, the environment will be sustainable for the
sake of future generations.
51. Ethical Theories
NP52. Environmental ethics are concerned with the issues of
having responsible individual conduct with natural resources
respect to sustainability. 53. Today the pressing moral issue is
regeneration or the recovery of nature as an environment to its
save position instead of a mere object which cannot support the
life of future generations. 54. Disregarding the fact that the
solidarities of biological, efficient, and social viewpoints being

outlined, the sustainable utilization of natural resources is the
focal issue of a model of sustainable improvement (Patra 2014).
55. Therefore, according to various ethical theories, more
responsibility typically implies value significance, choice,
capacity, and knowledge.
NP56. One of the appropriate ethical theories is utilitarianism.
57. This theory is based on an individual’s ability to predict the
consequences of an action (Boatright & Smith 2017). 58. The
choice which yields the most significant benefit to many people
is said to be ethically correct. 59. Classical utilitarianism
requires individuals to strive and aim at maximizing happiness
to all people, including future generations. 60. Therefore, “it
thus means utilitarianism implies a doctrine of sustainability the
idea of current generations providing for the needs of the future
generations without reducing their ability to provide for
themselves” (Melden 2013). 61. However, humanistic
utilitarianism acts differently. For instance, if the objective is to
increase the absolute amount of happiness on the planet, then
individuals should perceive that each newborn. 62. The main
point being the individual lives a happy life, and later the
amount of satisfaction is expanded. 63. Utilitarianism,
therefore, appears to infer a strategy of population increment
regardless of the economy.
NP64. Deontology is the second appropriate ethical theory. 65.
“It states that individuals should adhere to their duties and
obligations whenever they are engaged in decision making
situations in case ethics are in play” (Melden 2013). 66. It the
case of enhancing a sustainable environment, it will mean
individuals follow “their obligations to another society because
upholding one’s duty is ethically correct” (Melden 2013). 64.
Being deontologists, businesses and individuals will always
keep their promises to save the future of coming generations by
conserving the environment ethically and following the law.
Everyone who adheres and follows this theory is capable of
producing very compelling arguments because they are based on
duties set for the person.

NP65. Therefore, proper methodologies on sustainable
improvement accentuate the protection of the environment,
which is a significant target of sustainable development for
future generations. 66. For instance, financial growth eventually
relies upon the establishments which can secure and keep up the
earth’s conveying limit and flexibility.
67. Moral imagination
NP68. According to philosopher Mark Johnson, “Moral
Imagination refers to envisioning of a full range of possibilities
in a particular situation aiming to solve an ethical challenge”
(Johnson 1994). 69. Moral imagination emphasizes why
individuals should act morally since a sustainable environment
needs more than just the strengths of a trait. 70. Moral actions
require awareness and empathy to perceive what is ethically
relevant within given situations. 71. For sustainable
development across different organizations and business chains,
individuals need “to be simultaneously triumphant and ethical
by visualizing new and innovative alternatives” (Johnson 1994).
72. Therefore, people should be able to balance the environment
by looking far beyond the money impacts before making any
decision.
NP73. In business morals, it is proposed that the ethical,
creative mind is essential to the moral imagination. 74. By
acknowledging the identity of the current generation and
present conditions, the noble, creative mind permits one to
consider prospects that stretch out past. 75. It occurs when
given terms of recognizing moral standards, and typical
suspicions for the future generations.
76. Moral Courage
NP77. Moral courage refers to the ability of an individual to
have the bravery to take action for ethical reasons regardless of
adverse consequence risks. 78. For environmental sustainability,
courage is needed so that businesses and individuals can take
action when they have doubts or fears about inevitable
consequences. 79. This might include unethical issues that
might lead to survival challenges for future generations. 80. It

thus involves careful thoughts or deliberation.
NP81. Individuals act ethically with moral courage by being
able to identify dilemmas or ethical practices related to specific
environmental practices. 82. Moral courage also accords
individuals the ability to perform based on intrinsic values
prioritizing the good for others over themselves (Sharma 2018).
83. As a professional, one is supposed to behave according to
the profession’s ethics, thus preserving the environment for
future generations.
84. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Model
NP85. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is defined as a motivational
psychology theory involving a five-tier approach of human
needs, usually known as hierarchical levels within a pyramid.
86. “The pyramid means the needs lower down must be satisfied
before any person can attend to the needs in the higher levels.
87. From top to bottom, the requirements are; self-actualization,
esteem, love and belonging, safety, and physiological”
(McLeod, 2020).
NP88. Physiological needs are the firsts and include rest,
warmth, water, and food. 89. It thus means whenever current
businesses and individuals are dealing with the environment,
they must make sure they handle such resources with lots of
care. 90. Conducting activities that diminish or lead to their
extinction is unethical because they are provided naturally and
should be protected for the sake of future generations. 91.
“After an individual’s physiological needs are fulfilled, safety
needs, such as security and safety, become salient” (McLeod,
2020). 92. Current generations should make sure whatever they
develop does not harm or leave traces of destruction to the
earth, which could affect future generations. 93. An example of
such a human activity was World War II, when a bomb was
released in Japan, leaving harmful chemicals.
NP94. Love and belonging are the third levels of Maslow’s
hierarchy. 95. It involves friends and intimate relationships. 96.
Current generations must be willing and ready to welcome
future generations by showing them love and belongings

through love, giving and receiving affection, acceptance, trust,
intimacy, and friendship. 97. Fourth, making sure they meet the
esteem needs is vital. 98. In this case, Maslow indicated that
“an individual’s need for respect or reputation is essential for
children to precede them to real self-esteem or dignity”
(McLeod, 2020). 99. Lastly, self-actualization, which involves
the achievement of one’s full potential and creative activities
(McLeod, 2020). 100. It thus means current generations should
be original and unveil their full possibilities to develop a planet
that is saved for the coming age.
101. A CSR Model
NP102. The Statutory requirement is often termed as Corporate
Social Responsibility- CSR (or such similar term in other
countries) through the means of which every entity tends to
have a social responsibility towards the environment and
society. 103. CSR is not just false promises which every entity
tends to have a social responsibility towards the environment
and society. 104. CSR is not just false promises or hollow
statutory requirements (Boatright and Smith 2017). 105. They
are real organizational requirements that are a must for various
business houses. 106. CSR can usually include many activities
such as running and maintaining a kid’s park, maintaining a
green cover around the area of the factory, or on land handed by
the government to them, contributing towards the society in
money or kind whenever required.
107. The relevant Law or Legal Theory
NP108. The accountability of an organization is not only a
matter of ethical importance but also a matter of statutory
compliance, which is often imposed on various organizations by
the government of the country through which they are licensed
to operate. 109. The organizations must take upon the necessary
costs to ensure that they are making the environment around
which business houses are running (and the earth in general) to
be safe, secure, and habitable to live in or around.
NP110. In conclusion, businesses must make necessary
sacrifices in their operations if they have to ensure that they are

creating the environment safe enough for the other residents.
111. They cannot endanger the lives of the residents of the areas
around which they operate. 112. For this, they will have to
ensure that they use environmentally safe products and
procedures, proper disposal of hazardous and toxic wastes,
ensuring adequate safety and safety gear for its working-class,
and so on. 113. It will enhance a safe and combat planet for
future generations.
