INTRODUCTION
Ethics, sustainability and social impact can be understood to be one of the most essential
aspect where companies in fast pacing international business world have to focus. Ethics in
information technology and ethical issues in international business plays wide crucial role in
recent years. In first part of report data safety standards will be analysed, which needs to be

adhered effectively for stable fundamental scale growth. In second part international business
will be discussed, where strategies to keep employee safety work platforms are essential.
Ethics in information technology B. Ethical issues in international business.
TASK 1
Law enforcement agencies enabling unrestricted access to complete intrusive information on
people live
Law enforcement agencies should not be enabled unrestricted access to intrusive
information’s within public lives as data security principles are void with negative impact.
The law enforcement agencies have role of maintaining public order, enforcing new regulations
for prevention and punishments of breaches and detection of crime. Unrestricted access to
intrusive information on people lives enable data gathering and surveillance portrayed as having
impact on individual right to privacy. Impact of data gathering by law enforcement agencies
should be done in effective format for keeping up with new scale advancement, higher work
growth efficacy. Duty of mainlining public order and enforcing regulations for prevention,
punishments within breach and detection of crime are some aspects which needs to be adhered (5
Corporate Social Responsibility Trends to Follow in 2020, 2020).
Law enforcement agencies have specific work related to prevention, detection,
investigation, prosecution and punishment of criminal offences where breaches of law need to be
analysed. Enabling unrestricted access to intrusive information will generate chaos and
distortion of public information protection. Implementation by monitoring benchmarks plays
crucial role where law enforcement agencies have role to prevent, detect and seriously keep up
with proceedings.
The Worst scenario in regard to unrestricted access to digital communication of general
population
The worst scenarios in regard to unrestricted access to digital communications of general
population can be analysed with wide data breach, distortion of ethical principles and also loss in
safety standards. Unrestricted access to digital communications is bound to hamper working
fundamentals, ethics and accountability benchmarks. Possibility there is profound growth in
dispersion of wrong information among public, divide in resources and also divide in resources.
The Worst scenarios in regard to unrestricted access to digital communication scenarios can be

also analysed with creation of chaos on digital platforms, wider loss in ethical performances and
to evolve keeping the best standards. Also unrestricted access to digital communication in
public creates chaos and large scale connective working horizons, where networks distortion
lowers connective efficacy. Unrestricted access to digital communication in general population
not only lowers productive efficiency in keeping information’s intact and to yield on competitive
benchmarks imperatively. Digital communication breach among public hinders functional work
growth scenarios where policy analysis needs to be adhered, cognitive science and technology
usage. Unrestricted access to digital communication in public hinders proceedings towards
transparency factors, where intellectual resources should be used to keep up with privacy
aspects.
Data stored in private email accounts needs protection, where enforcement agencies needs
should be seeking warrant to review the documents.
Yes, data stored in private email accounts needs as much as protection as letters in locked
desk drawer, where law enforcement agencies should be seeking warrants to access and review
of documents. This statements explain privacy of email account holders needs has to be adhered,
while reviewing documents for keeping up with benchmarks of ethical principles. Privacy of all
email accounts users holds wide importance for generating smooth working parameters' efficacy
on longer time run. Concerns about privacy invasion often involves possibility that lowers
enforcement officials which creates discrimination and specific reasons to profoundly grow
further. Even if data is not used, considerable amount of safety standards should be adhered for
keeping up with protection of data to optimum levels and generating the best fundamental focus.
By keeping up with protective scenarios of data information enforcement agencies shall focus
further on seeking warrants, for reviewing documents which will generate accountability
towards new aspects (Top Corporate Social Responsibility Trends in 2020, 2020).
Ethical principles most relevant to information technology
Information technology ethics being study of ethical issues arising out of usage and
development of electronic technologies, has wide range of ethics which needs to be adhered.
Ethics has been perceived as one of the most important domain where relevance of information
technology plays crucial role, to emerge on wider scale productive benchmarks. Ethical
principles most relevant to information technology creates culture of trust, high aspects of
accountability and responsibility towards data functionality. Goal being to identify and

formulation of the best data safety benchmarks is crucial for underpinning privacy fundamentals.
Integrity and excellence in the usage of resources forms another principle most relevant to
information technology, within fast competitive business world within digital world. For keeping
up with productivity confidentiality of information there is also determining demand to use best
ethically trained employees in companies. Ethical principles most relevant to information
technology forms study of ethical standards pertaining to individual responsibilities and actions.
Governance of information technology ethics build in corporate functional standards within long
term business scenarios, effective innovation and also for productive goodwill (Marengo,
Montag and Stannic, 2021).
Arguments in favour to close digital divide and its importance
Digital divide can be understood as economic and social inequality with regard to access
to digital platforms, use and impact of information and communication technologies where it
hinders growth. There are various arguments in favour to close digital divide where individuals,
households and businesses progress is widely impacted negatively. Digital divide widens gap
between rich and poor causing social conflicts, enlarging gap between countries and hindering
development. This threatens productive diversity imperatively and usage of new resources
actively, where it also limits workforce development in potentialities which potently creates
wider differences (Vargas-Hernández, 2021). Digital divide lowers information capital,
developing country governments and the development industry, where varied working scenarios
are actively failing. Reduction of digital divide holds high importance towards raising
competencies effectively to new aspects with innovation. Digital divide also threatens
international business, where fast competitive business world demands countries to focus on best
usage of digital platforms. In order to close digital divide, productive access towards information
in economies need to potently focus on being facilitative towards new vision oriented growth.
TASK 2
Ethical principles being most relevant to international business
International business holds wide range of ethical principles to be followed at global
level where there are varied fast pacing challenges coming in, also ethical value generates
profound working goodwill. Ethical codes fill gap in laws and regulations which works as guide

of principles to help professionals conduct business ethically, reflecting mission along with
scope.
Ethics include outsourcing in working standards at workplace, with high diversity and equality
of working opportunities to enrich integrity of business services. Supervisory insight also plays
crucial role at ethical perspectives where business environment policies need to be just,
transparent at all aspects ( Raid and Shokouhyar, 2021). Corporate social responsibility also
comes as one of the essential ethical principle for bringing up wider scale ethics in performance
horizons, also evolve on new stakeholders' accountability. International business concepts in
culture has strong profound impact to evolve on operating efficacy on longer time run, where
ethics in corporate functioning generate goodwill. There shall be avoidance of discrimination
among employees form international cultures, where companies need to evolve on keeping
benchmarks framed for keeping up ethics at frame. International businesses operating in
multiple countries need standards of set global standards, with operating guidelines to keep
corporate culture ethical in realistic way.
2 Top fashion brands’ business practices Research method use: Survey is being used in report for researching as one of the most
productive and informative secondary research collection method. The research brings
forward sound results about corporate functioning in major fast transforming fashion
world, where there are fast pacing changes coming in. Key messages: The research within report has examined major brands demand for cheap,
fast fashion world make it harder for suppliers to provide decent working conditions.
Major brands impose short production windows, cost pressures and constant order
fluctuations which are factors of violation in human rights among employees. These
issues need to be addressed by implementing ethical work standards, freedom of
movement in longer run. South Indian garment workers described cases of child and
bonded labour, violations of basic rights in supply chains for brands such as Nike has
been identified within commercial platforms. Health and safety principles are hindered
among employees to keep up with ethics within social standards functionally. The
research explains global major brands have been in recent periods growing louder in
demand for ending labour practices. The research has further technically analysed focus

on evolving towards negative impacts of lowering costs, unfair pay and lack of efficiency
within contracts and limited freedom to speak (Dressler and Panovich., 2021).
Know The chain
 The research method used in this report is based on secondary research where
observational trials and statistical studies have helped to get accurate information’s. The
research within report has enabled findings to be accurate within wider scale goals, and
to reach on wider scale aspects where findings hold accountability. Survey being one of
the widely used research method brings forward wider effective results in organized
format. Also keeping up with benchmarks of performance horizons for competent scale
operative goals imperatively towards reaching international business platforms. Research has been done in sound way imperatively, where it has analysed results that
estimated 24.9 million people are in situations of forced labour globally. Situations in
accommodations have been not safe. Language barrier has been also analysed to be one
of the challenge where employees do not feel comfortable towards responsibilities.
Forced labour risks also possess risk where supply chain, migrants and workers form
ethnic minorities have been facing unemployment. Increased migration due to conditions
such as inequality unemployment, informal employment and wider conditions change in
climate creates larger negative impact. There has been continuous decline towards
satisfaction level among employees working scenario, where new code of conducts need
to be applied. Training while procurement of staff needs shall be focused on within
international languages at companies, where motoring of labour conditions plays wide
important role (Bounding and Olsson, 2021).
Common observations done in both reports
The analysis done in both reports explains similarity in aspects of wider competent
scenarios, where labour exploitation and conditions in which they work have been highlighted.
Supply chain within management in companies within international business need to be
effectively evolved with the latest facilities. Also it can be understood that both reports have in
detail concluded varied examples of exploitative working conditions, in which employees are
working in. These factors demand audit process for monitoring labour supplies at international
levels, need for effective training and mechanism to evolve on competent scale efficacy
horizons. Both reports have also concluded vast importance to keep up with sustainability

factors, ethics to be adhered by companies in international business where post Covid-19 it
becomes crucial for keeping up with the best facilities. Globally international business has been
expanding on varied working domains where sustainability of performance has wide role,
leveraging imperative scope to evolve on procedures innovatively. This explains varying
scenario in focus for generating strengthened performance horizons where various platforms
such as best working conditions and new equipment’s should be provided. Also there has been
constant focus ascertained among larger productive facilities, following of ethics to be
competitive in all performances (Changer and Aten, 2021).
CONCLUSION
The report has concluded in detail varied aspects where ethics in information technology
have been identified to be widely competent for best performance benchmarks. Research has
concluded data safety evolves with principles such as authenticity of data, integrity of data and
accountability to be adhered. Further ethical issues in international business have been
