Question

I believe that businesses do have a moral and social obligations to future generations of people to protect the environment. Milton Friedman's view on this discussion was that the only social responsibility of businesses is to increase profits. Many like him believe that, due to the fact that we don't know who the future generations of people are, we shouldn't consider that aspect of life when it comes to business. Bettering the present is always good but the question everyone must ask is: “at what cost is increasing profits beneficial?” If we don't spend time and money considering about the future and the planet, there won't be a planet to live on for these companies to make profits. Samsung, Apple and many other electronic companies dump electronic waste in different parts of Africa and other third world countries every day. It's leading to the water in the areas of these mass waste dumping, getting polluted. When the water gets polluted, it not only affects the health of the people drinking it, but it also leads to increases in temperature. The problem in the world is these major corporations don't care about the environment. They only care about immediate profits and it's leading to massive Global warming and the extinction of many animas around the world. This is why I believe that companies have a moral obligation to look at environmental issues. There are no profits to be made if there is no planet to live on.
