3.03. Identify, define and address ethical, economic,
cultural, legal and environmental issues related to work projects.
With regard to the website we are concerned with, we have
identified the issues that are related with it and measures are being taken
during implementation to avoid or minimize the effect of them.
When addressing the ethical issues that are to be faced, the
main concern was that whether the client who is a telecommunication equipment
trading partner follow the ethical practices in trading procedures and whether
the traded equipment are made adhering to them. It was emphasized by our client
not only that they follow the ethical practices but also encourage their
stakeholders on ethical use of resources considering that as one of the key
goals of the company. Driving the telecom equipment manufacturers and
supporting the customers for ethical consumption is deliberated by them as vital
objectives to be achieved. Hence it was clearly observable that the ethical
issues were properly addressed and no further measures were needed in that
context.
Regarding the cultural issues the website does not really
impact the culture of the related parties or create any significant issue in
that concern. Since the intended project is only an informative website related
to the promotion of our client’s product which would be telecommunication
equipment trading, it has no impact on the culture in whatever the aspect.
The major legal issues faced would be the client’s practices
followed when trading the equipment. Hence before the request to design the
website was accepted, the relevant parties were consulted and measures were
taken to identify the exact procedure of trading and the company’s trading
policies in order to arrive at the conclusion that the project has no legal
issues whatsoever. The type of the stakeholders of the company and how
qualified the manufacturers are and also how the legal sides of the trading is handled
was taken into consideration at that stage.
The company makes sure that they not only trade
telecommunication equipment just for their profits but that they follow a green
business initiative. Green technology and clean manufacturing are two of their significant
considerations. Hence it would ensure that the company follows a business
strategy which has minimal negative impact on the local or global environment,
community, society or economy. And that would provide sufficient evidence that
the supposed site would adhere to the above mentioned code of ethics.
