it is necessary to see the impact of an ethical or unethical business. Suppose an unethical decision may save thousand s of jobs and an ethical decision can cost a thousand jobs. Which one will you choose? Any right thinking professional would make the unethical decision. But as the above post said, how much is enough, it is true, it is difficult to ascertain that. Now, if an unethical act can provide a thousand jobs and profits for the company but has an environmental harm, or insurance of people are lost, then the right decision would be the ethical one. I think unethical and ethical decisions should not be based on emotions but rather on its impact on the stakeholders both in the share market and society.
