INTRODUCTION
Ethics, responsibility and sustainability is considered to be important aspect in the life of
the individuals and corporate companies. All these concepts have links and differences creating
relation of dependency between each other. Ethics, corporate responsibility and sustainability
helps in delivering a narrow view of capitalism with greater sense of purpose. Ethics and
sustainability are the two important area who are closely related to each other. Sustainability is
about maintaining the certain level of ethical standards (García. and Sanz.,2018). This is
becoming more important in today’s world as people have developed strong opinions about what
is right and wrong.
I have been learning about the ethics for a long time back. I have look into the various issues in
relation of highly environmental issues, fair trade and human rights standards. I have keen look
into the sustainable and ethical consistencies with maximizing defernite benefits on my ethical
joinery. There were several issues which came up as behaving and thinking as lost in my
everyday life. I am very much concern regarding the several human cost caused due to
negligence of ethics, sustainability and standards. I have keen to look into faith-based ethics and
faith-based philosophies of the different aspect .
On the other hand, for the view of corporate aspect, it has been responsibility of a company
for setting up the value, vision and missions aligning the philosophy of ethical standard and
sustainability. This report will indicate the journey of influence and discussion in linked session
resources. In addition, the report will have critical reflection on the personal value with use of
Schwartz value survey along with current action and behaviour reflecting values. At the last the
report will have reflection on their chosen photo which have linkage to the valuable idea of
ethical. responsibility and sustainability.
MAIN BODY
Literature review
As per the view of Lam, (2016), In the global society, the human being is facing huge level
of challenges in business. There is need to see it as best part of the problems. On the other hand,
Curren, (2018) states as population is killing all the individual trough both short term and long-
term exposure. In addition, author supported as around four million people every year.
according to view water pollution is harmful to animals, human and water life. This is the
4

catastrophic, depending on the kind of chemicals, concentrations of the pollutants. As the result
all the series declared to be extinct this decade. The author quoted a human have made 8.3 bn
tons of plastic waste since 1950.
According to the view (Dzwonkowska, 2018), Bhopal gas tragedy is one of biggest
accident taken place in world history whose victims are still wasting for justice for last 35 years.
This is what something is against ethic, responsibility and standards. The author have listed the
important disaster point which somewhere have occurred due to the crossing limits of ethics ,
failure maintaining standard and fulfilling responsibility. The events Chernobyl nuclear or
accident, Gulf of Mexico, artisanal gold mining and many more.
According to view of Lam, (2016), the world is facing global crisis due to the unequal
distribution of incomes as the rise is getting out to be richer and poor get out to be poorer. Hence
each decision takes by individual should be taken up to have non-renewable resources driving
out the limited changes. This is turning out the make people poorer and whole societies less
relents to environmental change. The author has stated the statement regrading most faith-based
ethics and events both faith-based philosophies have need to take guidance regarding care for
natural world. As per the view of Curren, (2018) company across the world have likely the need
to understands the importance of business ethics when management takes leadership roles and
stresses up the ethical behaviour individual prevailed.
As per the view of (Dzwonkowska, 2018), the solution totally relying with the prevailing

sustainable development goals designed for business engagements and responsibility at centres
on the other hand, Curren, (2018) argued that without proper and appropriate business it is not
going to be happened.
Hence it can be states ethics, responsibility and sustainability are the three-core concept
needed ensure the leading good life, understanding wat is right and wrong. In addition,
responsibility have considered actions in way of minimization and maximization to look right
things the need to accept. There is inclusion of the concept of sense making and storytelling to

Photograph
This picture has been very trembling to me as the accident made be hard to believe that such
accident actually happens is causing so much harm to environment. I have searched out disaster
point which somewhere have occurred due to the crossing limits of ethics, failure maintaining
standard and fulfilling responsibility. Beirut chemical blast have caused between $3 billion and
$5 billion, adding that the explosion had made at least 200,000 people homeless. It’s known to
predispose people to the worst effects of respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
This is turning out the make people poorer and whole societies less relents to environmental
change. It is more likely the need to understands the importance of business ethics when
management takes leadership roles and stresses up the ethical behaviour individual prevailed.
This have inclusion of different sustainable goals taking greater responsibility for it respective
actions. In addition, sustainable development goals designed for business engagements and
responsibility at centres.
CONCLUSION
From the above file it can be concluded as Ethics and sustainability are the two important area
who are closely related to each other. The important disaster point which somewhere have
occurred due to the crossing limits of ethics, failure maintaining standard and fulfilling
responsibility. Different business which have the need for maximum innovation dealing with
leadership, collaboration and best advisable practices in the global industry. In addition,
responsibility have considered actions in way of minimization and maximization to look right
things the need to accept. It is more likely the need to understands the importance of business
