What factors should be considered when creating value and ROI through sustainability efforts? How should managers discipline disobedient employees? What strategies can be used to improve civic identity? How can an ethical business culture be created? Why is continued involvement in matters of public concern and social responsibility important for business? What resolution could be provided to Comp Core that demonstrates application of ethical decision-making? Case Study Comp Core, Inc. is a family-owned business in the Midwest that has been operating for 50 years. Having started from the ground up after the family lost everything in a tornado, Comp Core has become a large enterprise with name recognition across the United States. The company's primary business is in homebuilding and construction; however, Comp Core also is known for building housing developments for families who have lost their homes in natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina. Philanthropy is an important part of Comp Core's mission. Working with many subcontractors that depend on Comp Core's success, the company has more than 400 employees in its main offices. Comp Core obtains wood for its low income housing developments from Vail, Inc., a supplier in South America. Recently, John, one of the employees in Comp Core's Miami office, went to see the operations in South America. During the visit, John discovered that Vail is destroying rainforests throughout South America to supply cheap wood. This destruction has caused widespread damage to the ecosystem, causing the rivers to overflow and flood surrounding villages, damaging their crops and livelihoods. Upon returning to Miami, John discussed this issue with his boss, Susan, who told him to keep it quiet. Instead of listening to Susan, John wrote an internal memo to the chief executive officer (CEO), chief financial officer, and other key employees detailing what was going on in South America. The CEO was quick to respond, telling him to stop discussing the situation, as it could damage Comp Core's reputation. The CEO noted that the company has looked everywhere for a different supplier, but hasn't been able to find one that performs work as inexpensively as Vail. The CEO fears that if the company stops using Vail to supply wood, it will not be able to provide affordable building options for people in need. Page 3 of 11.
