How much environment?
Most of us can agree that humans are dependent on the environment.  However, there is considerable disagreement on a business’ responsibility to the environment.  Acceptance of responsibility for environmental ethics is demonstrated through the development of a corporate environmental strategy. An example is the environmental strategy of Marriott International: “Both in our hotels and beyond, we seek to understand and act on the direct and indirect environmental impacts of our business operations.” Companies operating across the globe, regardless of size, must make such a strategy part of their business model in order to protect the natural resources they use to make a profit. 
But the intersection of environment and business is all about human choices. What do you feel is the relationship between humans and Nature?   What responsibilities- if any- do managers have to secure that the environment is “present” in business decisions?

Online Lecture – A Little of Both
Keep in mind we are covering two somewhat distinct topics:  Environmental ethics and business and then research ethics in business.   Though they are related, there are some important underlying differences.
The field of environmental ethics concerns human beings’ ethical relationship with the natural environment. While numerous philosophers have written on this topic throughout history, environmental ethics only developed into a specific philosophical discipline in the 1970s. This emergence was no doubt due to the increasing awareness in the 1960s of the effects that technology, industry, economic expansion, and population growth were having on the environment. 
The field of research ethics emerges at roughly the same time and for abuses as well.   But the focus of research ethics is the protection of the human (or at times, the animal) subject.  This is a directed protocol-  humans automatically have certain privileges and protections in all kinds of research, principally, the notion of informed consent.  Unlike other branches of ethics, informed consent is the cornerstone of ethical research. 
In this comparison, the environment cannot consent, so it has a different kind of privilege about our dependence on its collective support as the cornerstone for ethical protection.  
A recent example of how business handles both environmental and research issue is brought tot he forefront ins the electric car development of the past two decades.  The electric car has a complicated – somewhat shady – history (Links to an external site.); with lots of odd versions and turns (Links to an external site.). 
So let’s start here:

Research history is not only less glamorous but much more notorious. However, the events described in the following documentary clinched the need for careful ethical controls and oversight of research.  Before viewing this documentary,  please be aware that- unlike previous ones- this one may not be suitable for your children.  It is a very disturbing story about how researchers exposed Black men to a curable disease against their knowledge to examine disease progression.  Not only was the research unnecessary (because a cure was available), it was done a vulnerable population.  The effects of the Tuskeegee continue to the presnt day.
