What is Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
The EPA stands for Environmental Protection Agency which is an agency that has the authority to investigate and inspect for pollution on premises of a corporation. What the EPA does is if any company is in violation of the law, the EPA has authority to notify the state where the company is located, to give heavy fines and to notify the party being offended. The EPA has the right to sue, shut down or levy fine and even impose criminal penalties against the stakeholders involved.
Furthermore, the EPA has to enforce the laws and procedures that are supposed to be done by each company. The ethical analysis here is rights and justice as the ethical concept, of the people working for the company and the people living and working outside of the company in the environment. Again, as I put in our debate posting, the environment is also a stakeholder.
Finally, the main ethical concept to be concerned with here is moral rights. The people and the environment have the moral right to life and safety. People have the right to live and work in a safe environment. The EPA helps to enforce the laws, by giving fines, shutting down some businesses, as they are authorized to fine violators without having to go to court since 1990. In addition. Lawsuits can be given to private individuals. Therefore, the CEO and key personnel could be held liable. To this end, the EPA is important to our studies because they regulate so many different areas and it is a common factor in business having chemicals, and that is why it’s important to change the way business is run from the very beginning before it’s too late. Otherwise, the end result would be failure for any company here or abroad. With and without EPA involvement the environment and the people’s right will be violated (eGuide, 2009).

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES WITHOUT EPA STDS
I WOULD ARGUE IN OPPOSITION UNLESS PROPER PROTOCOL IS DONE:
If I was the Manager of the Corporation that was starting a business overseas and they did not have Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in their country, I would like to approach the CEO and give her/him some insight to what we may be getting into. First, I would suggest that we hire our own two-man team Geologists to study the environment of the area we plan on purchasing and putting our plant.
Second, it’s important to have clean water and hire someone in-house to check the pollutants, because there is no EPA in Mexico. All the more we have to check on the water, because if a child or adult got sick and died, the CEO and other stakeholders would be liable if the family decided to sue. Add to this, more importantly how would we feel morally losing someone and knowing it was our fault. Next, I need to make it clear that the environment is the main stakeholder here.
Third, not only the water but the land needs to be checked to be sure there are not already dangerous chemicals in the land prior to building.
Fourth, we have to be sure no one conceals the evidence, therefore by having an in-house auditor to audit the reports and files down the road.
Fifth, as mentioned above have our Geologists check the soil but double check and we are sure there are not already some open reports somewhere.
Sixth, we have to have manuals printed with proper protocol for staff and employees because we are all stakeholders here. We will not be able to get investment funds in J/V deals if a leak gets out that there’s a problem in one of our plants. Therefore, we have to keep everything clean.
Furthermore, there does not have to be a law in effect for an individual or company to sue the company for millions of dollars if there are a lot of deaths caused by waste products being dumped in the soil or contaminated water cause lung diseases, etc.
Conclusion, to really emphasize how we will feel if children die from contaminated water, how will we feel morally?
