Ethical Strategy
Does Amvac have an ethical strategy? In my opinion, Amvac does not have an ethical strategy. The reason for this is because there were several examples in the reading that pointed out how Amvac only cared about making profits. For instance, “’Amvac continued to sell mevinphos even as the EPA was gathering further evidence of its dangers.’ ‘In early 1993 the agency called mevinphos one of the five most dangerous pesticides.’ ‘It had reports of 600 poisonings and 5 deaths over the previous decade and calculated that the rate of poisonings was 5 to 10 times higher than for any other product’” (Harvesting Risks p 467-468). Ethical Manner
Does it pursue its strategy in an ethical manner?
From my point of view, I do not think that any company pursues its strategy in an ethical manner anymore. Furthermore, companies now days only care about making profits regardless of whether their methods are right or wrong. Let me use the same quote from the paragraph above but I will add three more sentences to justify my comment. “A few months after Chavez’s hunger strike, DuPont ended mevinphos production.’ ‘Amvac, however, was willing to embrace it.’ ‘So DuPont sold its exclusive rights to Amvac.’ ‘Amvac continued to sell….’” (Harvesting Risks p 467-468).
Ethics Code
Does Amvac pursue or adhere to its ethics code? From my stand point, Amvac does not pursue or adhere to
