[Environmental Concerns] Sana, the president of a company that makes paper, has an interest in the environment. She recently went to a seminar on environmental dangers and has decided to take steps to clean things up. She started at home and has now felt compelled to change things at work. Sana had to face the fact that her company has been cheating and is not in compliance with applicable environmental regulations due to dumping in a nearby river. Her company has never been cited because it employs a very large number of people in the community, including the mayor's husband and the chief-of-police's brother. On her mission to clean things up, Sana has decided to go even further than the law requires and implement the very latest environmental protections. When she announced her plan, the chair of the company's board of directors, Jessica, had a meeting with Sana. Jessica told Sana to analyze the situation carefully because the cost of the additional equipment would mean no dividend to shareholders and no raise for employees. Furthermore, Jessica told Sana that installing all the new equipment would result in higher prices for the company's paper product and could bankrupt the company because of foreign competition. Jessica hinted that Sana could be fired if she persisted. Jessica suggested that Sana should just be concerned with a minimal standard of ethics. Sana decides to go forward with her plan to clean things up under the theory that she wants to treat others in the same manner that she wants to be treated. Under Sana's theory, if she did not understand the importance of the environmental improvements, she would want them to be thrust upon her.
