Avery is а seniоr sоurcing mаnаger fоr a U.S.-based clothing company that manufactures garments overseas. During a routine visit to one of the company’s factories in South Asia, Avery learns that the facility legally discharges treated dye wastewater into a nearby river in accordance with local environmental regulations. However, independent environmental groups report that even these permitted levels of discharge have gradually affected downstream farming communities by reducing crop yields and contaminating the water. Installing advanced filtration systems would significantly reduce environmental impact but increase production costs by nearly 12%. Avery also learns that the factory pays workers the legal minimum wage and complies with all local labor and safety laws. However, several workers explain that while they are grateful for stable employment, their wages barely cover food and housing. Many cannot afford medical treatment when a family member becomes ill and sending their children to secondary school is often financially impossible. A modest wage increase would meaningfully improve their families’ stability, but it would further increase production costs. Company executives argue that the factory already offers some of the best jobs in the region and warn that higher costs could force production to move elsewhere, eliminating hundreds of jobs. Avery’s supervisor makes the stakes clear: if Avery recommends costly environmental upgrades or wage increases, the company may lose competitiveness in a highly price-sensitive market. Major retail partners have already warned that even small price increases could jeopardize future contracts. Compare a response to this situation based on one of the four human-based ethical systems we discussed this semester to a response based on the three characteristics of God we discussed this semester. What would you do in Avery’s situation? Be sure to justify and explain your answer. In your answer, include which environmental viewpoint and wage standard informed your decision of the ones we’ve discussed in this course.
