Wednesday (05/4), the Center for Medical Bioethics and Humanities held the Raboan Discussion Forum again. The topic discussed at this event was Business Ethics. The speaker on this topic is Dr. Peter Johannes Manoppo, a Bioethicist from the Indonesian Bioethics Forum. Meanwhile, the moderator was Nathan Agwin Khenda.
The business makes one’s living because it can make money, products, and services. However, the increase in population is inversely proportional to the amount of human and natural resources; this can cause ethical problems. The thing to note is that when we study science, we will find gold fields, while when we look at ethics, we will find minefields.
A business person must have creativity, innovation, novelty, value, execution, pioneering, ethical ground, and empowering business. In addition, companies must respect all business stakeholders, including management, workforce, customers, suppliers, competitors, regulators, other corporate citizens, and society because all of these things can do a business last a long time.
The UNDP goals contain 17 SDGs, namely sustainable growth. Here there are many themes on health, education, and climate change; there are also themes concerning economic development and infrastructure. Right now, the industry has to innovate, but human resources don’t exist, and there are more and more human resources. Moreover, the principle of the UNDP Global Goals is to seek peace for all human beings. Therefore, it can be used as a guide in business ethics.
There are four pillars of business management, business analysis, learning and leadership development, strategic partnerships, and funding opportunities. These four Pilat must have the correct ethical foundation to run well. Therefore it is necessary to have an ethics committee conducting business to pay attention to the following matters, Sexual harassment, Diversity & discrimination, Bullying, Health & Safety, Environmental protection, Accounting practices, Data privacy, and Theft.
Businesses should improve human welfare & prosperity through good business governance based on the four pillars of business management. When doing business, sometimes there are competing or conflicts of interest in business, but all business stakeholders should avoid this. Social responsibility is essential to the morality of business, internally & externally.
