Select a major global company that markets food, clothes, or electronics and conduct some research on their ethical sourcing practices so that you can answer the following questions:

What would be a good introduction and thesis?

1.Describe the supply chain infrastructure that the firm uses - does it have few or many suppliers, where are they based?

2.How would you describe the company's approach to outsourcing? Does it comply with local and international labor and environmental standards? What about the company's obligation to give back to the community? How does it deal with labor and environmental monitoring or regulations by non-government organizations and civil groups? Can you explain why these civil groups or organizations are involved?

3.To what extent does the firm report on the outcomes of its ethical sourcing initiatives?

4.Can outsourcing be an ethical practice? Support your argument with an ethical theory /theories. Articulate and apply the ethical theory in your essay, do not just mention it.

5.You must use at least five sources for your reference (articles, journals, news, books, etc.)

what would be a good conclusion?
