BUSINESS ETHICS
Executive summary
After going through the documentary blood, sweat and t-shirts it has been identified that the
workers working in Indian factories from which UK retailers outsource their products are treated
in a very inhuman manner. The report analyzes the documentary in terms of ethical principles
and Corporate Social Responsibility. The term Corporate Social Responsibility means that it the
management where the organizations combine environmental and social matters in their
companies to interact and operate with their other businessmen. The paper comes to a conclusion
that the narrow view of CSR which is adopted by the retailers in UK is not as ethical as the
Broad view of CSR. Thus the retailers should adopt the broad view of CSR and address the
needs of the factory workers in India.
