Preparation: Read the article, $$Are B Corps Truly Better?$$ and look over the Stakeholder Analysis Worksheet. Refresh your memory of the lecture material on benefit corporations, sustainability, and classical utilitarianism.

Research: Find one example of a company that uses sustainability in their branding but appears to be engaged in greenwashing that is NOT Nestle or Nespresso. Your example does not have to be a B Corp.

Task: Use classical utilitarianism to determine whether the company$$s use of greenwashing is ethical or not. To do this, you will need to analyze all of the stakeholders and determine who is being benefited or harmed by the company$$s practices. You should include the public as a stakeholder by considering the impact on public goods, such as air and water.

To receive full credit $(4$ points$),$ your response should:

In one paragraph: Briefly describe the company$$s use of sustainability in branding and why it appears to be greenwashing

In a second paragraph: Briefly explain who is being benefited by this practice and how $($you can use bullet points if you like$)$

In a third paragraph: Briefly explain who is being harmed by this practice and how $($you can use bullet points if you like$)$

In a fourth paragraph: Briefly state whether the company$$s use of sustainability in branding is ethical or unethical according to classical utilitarianism and provide a justification for your response that draws on your stakeholder analysis. You may also offer a solution that would satisfy utilitarian concerns if you likebut this is not required.

Use MLA in$-$text citation if you use any quotes $($see MLA citation basics under "course info"$)$ and include a works cited entry with a link to show where you got the information you did about your example.
