1 Introduction (10) Define key terms and set out your approach to the assignment

2 Overview (20) Critically explore issues, and review literature, around how ethical questions are manifested in the modern workplace. You should cover Sustainable Development Goals as well as some other key themes from the module, such as: CSR; globalisation; diversity; stakeholder theory; working with or in the third sector, or the creation of more ethical business structures. In this section I am going to talk about how ethics are raised within the companies of the modern world. First of all, ethics are an integral part of the modern workplace, since focusing only on the bottom line is not sufficient anymore in todays world, and more and more companies are moving towards the triple bottom line, which is a concept that expands the business success metrics beyond only profits, and believes that there are also people and planet parts, which should be addressed by the companies.

3 Practice (60) Describe and analyse three example cases which illustrate practice (good or bad or both) in your thematic areas (from part 2) in more detail. These can look at individual organisations (from private, public or third sectors); or industry sectors more widely (e.g. fashion, IT, sport etc). For each case:

Describe how it unfolded, with a focus on ethical dimensions

Analyse it in terms of theories of ethics and/or business ethics

Suggest any wider lessons for other practitioners

Conclusion (10) -Summarise your findings and suggest possible future directions for firms in the field of sustainable and responsible business.
