Assignment 3: Ethics and Corporate Responsibility in the Workplace and the Work
PharmaCARE (We CARE about YOUR health®) is one of the world’s most successful pharmaceutical
companies, enjoying a reputation as a caring, ethical and well-run company that produces high-quality
products that save millions of lives and enhance the quality of life for millions of others (Note:
PharmaCARE is a hypothetical company that you will to compare to a real company as noted in the
assignment criteria below). The company offers free and discounted drugs to low-income consumers,
has a foundation that sponsors healthcare educational programs and scholarships, and its CEO serves on
the PhRMA board. PharmaCARE recently launched a new initiative, We CARE about YOUR world®,
pledging its commitment to the environment through recycling, packaging changes and other green
initiatives, despite the fact that the company’s lobbying efforts and PAC have successfully defeated
environmental laws and regulations, including extension of the Superfund tax, which was created by
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).
Based in New Jersey, PharmaCARE maintains a large manufacturing facility in the African nation of
Colberia, where the company has found several “healers” eager to freely share information about
indigenous cures and an abundance of Colberians willing to work for $1.00 a day, harvesting plants by
walking five (5) miles into and out of the jungle carrying baskets that, when full, weigh up to fifty (50)
pounds. Due to the low standard of living in Colberia, much of the population lives in primitive huts with
no electricity or running water. PharmaCARE’s executives, however, live in a luxury compound, complete
with a swimming pool, tennis courts, and a golf course. PharmaCARE’s extensive activities in Colberia
have destroyed habitat and endangered native species.
In preparation for this assignment, use the Internet or Strayer Library to research companies that have
recently experienced negative consequences as a result of the company’s corporate activities. Compare
the facts and consequences surrounding the companies you have researched to PharmaCare to support
your response(s) to the criteria below. Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
1. Thoroughly described the key characteristics of a stakeholder and determine all the stakeholders
within the PharmaCARE scenario.

Colberia’s indigenous population versus that of its executives. Recommend at least three (3)

3. Thoroughly assessed PharmaCARE’s environmental initiative against the backdrop of its antienvironmental lobbying efforts and Colberian activities. Support the position.
