The article discusses the meaning of “ethical” in the context of ethical goods. Terms like “ethical” or “responsible” have assumed new meanings when used to indicate the quality of a product or material. In the article, we analyse the transformed notion of “ethical”, its limits and extensions, using the case of cobalt mining and electronics as an illustrative example. As a non-substitutable material needed by the booming electronics industry and mined in horrendous conditions, the use of cobalt brings forth difficult questions about responsibility. We approach this question from the perspective of the meaning of “ethical” cobalt, and thereby ethical laptops. We use data collected in the context of a CSO project focused on “ethical laptops” and a literature review, and place this in the context of applied ethics. In conclusion, we show how the notion of “ethical products” is complicated by the various possible meanings of responsibility and difficult choices between disengagement from unethical practices and deeper engagement for changing these practices. Keywords: Ethical trade, Global value chains; Ethical theory; Developing countries; Electronics; Stakeholders

The achievement of sustainability goals will take a joint effort and content creators could be one of the actors helping with reaching it. Reliable but relatable communication on sustainable lifestyles on social media could reach many consumers and contribute to changing their behaviour patterns. However, the content creators’ activities need to fit within certain parameters for the benefits to outweigh the costs. This article identifies three important parameters that regulation should safeguard: Relatability, reliability, and redress. A key reason why content creators have managed to establish themselves as influencers is that they are relatable. But content creators may not be able to ensure what they tell their followers is reliable. That in turn raises the question of who should be responsible for providing redress in cases of misstatements. Following the critical analysis of the European legal framework, this article considers the need for further adaptations to the current rules or even the adoption of new rules more strictly regulating sustainable activism on social media.

Quantum Computing and Supply Chain Management

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter examines the essential association of integrity, ethics, and security in the integration of quantum computing in supply chain operations. Commencing with an investigation of security risks and ethical frameworks explicitly in quantum supply chains, the discussion navigates through significant considerations like transparency in data management, data privacy, regulatory compliance, and fairness. The chapter also addresses the ethical dilemmas and security challenges posed by quantum-enabled supply chain management with the blend of theoretical analysis and practical insights. Gradually, more businesses are adopting quantum technologies to optimize their supply chains, and safeguarding security and integrity becomes important. Stakeholders can foster trust, resilience, and transparency in quantum-enabled supply chain operations by proactively solving ethical concerns and instigating vigorous security measures.
