  • Essays 'Ethical Decision Making: Ok Tedi Mine', 1.
Extract

Ethical decision-making is becoming an important framework in an organisation. Companies are starting to recognize that they have a wider responsibility to the communities within which they operate. By making ethical decisions, a win-win situation can be achieved between the company and its stakeholders. BHP learnt this the hard way, with the Ok Tedi mine case. There were flaws in the original decision-making process as BHP did not closely take into account of some factors -- such as social and environmental impacts.
