Ethics
In the case of BP oil the internal factors that “affect” ethics within management started at the very top of BP. In, the beginning its handling of the deepwater horizon spill was a disaster. Bp was involved in a number of projects at the outset of this disaster in an effort to save; money However at the start there was a lack of adequate communication between top level management and the front office.
Bp planned to use cement that was much lighter to cap the well and therefore cost less in a cost saving measure greed became a factor. That is an act of poor judgment on any individual in a managerial capacity. Bp from the start did not have a plan on how to go about organizing the cleanup of the spill even after they had been informed that if they would have used the right cement the first time the disaster could have been avoided. Management made many calls that compromised their ethics right from the start not only within the company but also on the jobsite in the way that they went about organizing the cleanup put employs at risk in efforts to make the company look more favorable. In similar incidents BP had been cited in the pass for safety issues.
After the clean up BP lead the way in helping the fisherman affected by the spill a subcontractor for BP oil is hiring unemployed fishermen for boom deployment off the cost of Louisiana as part of the response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill (Kelly May 2010). BP oil also set up a fund to help families in need upper management is also helping coronate with the insurance companies in filing claims for dispersed fishermen dote the loss of the fishing industry. BP oil may have not done all the right at first however after some time Bp oil and its management have done all that could ethical be done to step up and fix their mess.
