Question 2

Explain how green computing can satisfy each of the three normative theories of business ethics.

Accepted Answer

Green computing can satisfy each of the three normative theories of business ethics - deontological, teleological, and virtue ethics - in the following ways:

1. Deontological ethics: This theory emphasizes the importance of following moral rules and duties. Green computing aligns with deontological ethics by adhering to the duty of minimizing harm to the environment. By reducing energy consumption, using sustainable materials, and properly disposing of electronic waste, businesses practicing green computing are fulfilling their duty to protect the environment and minimize their negative impact on society.

2. Teleological ethics: Also known as consequentialist ethics, this theory focuses on the outcomes or consequences of actions. Green computing can satisfy teleological ethics by producing positive outcomes for society and the environment. By reducing carbon emissions, conserving natural resources, and promoting sustainability, businesses practicing green computing are contributing to a healthier planet and better quality of life for future generations.

3. Virtue ethics: This theory emphasizes the development of moral character and virtues. Green computing aligns with virtue ethics by promoting the virtues of environmental stewardship, responsibility, and sustainability. Businesses that prioritize green computing demonstrate a commitment to these virtues, which can positively influence their organizational culture and reputation.

In conclusion, green computing can satisfy each of the three normative theories of business ethics by fulfilling duties to minimize harm, producing positive outcomes for society and the environment, and promoting moral virtues related to environmental stewardship and sustainability. By integrating green computing practices into their operations, businesses can demonstrate ethical behavior and contribute to a more sustainable and responsible business environment.
