Ethical Standard – Immanuel Kant
Categorical Imperative“Act only on that maxim through which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.”
Practical Imperative“Act in such a way that you always treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never simply as a means, but always at the same time as an end.”
Risk & Safety
“The pursuit of energy will always involve risk, so it is essential that safety remains front of the mind.”
– Carl-Henric Svanberg
Conclusion & Judgment about BP
The ethical judgment is inconclusive BP cannot act ethically, or unethically BP executives and employees can so act They acted both ethically and unethically
BP suffered from a culture in which… Leaders emphasized profits over safety, ethics
Culture is a leadership responsibility Douglas MacArthur at West Point (1919-22)
The Four-Way Test: Self-Regulation
First – Is it the truth ?
Second – Is it fair to all concerned Third – Will it build goodwill and
better friendships ?
Fourth – Will it be beneficial to all concerned ?
Limitations of Virtue Ethics
Character strengths/virtues not enough Lack of common understanding Individual fallibility and vulnerability Conflicts of interests among individuals
The problem of self–serving behavior Ethical dilemmas and close calls
Personal accountability and
organizational integrity
Codes of Conduct & Enforcement
Enforcement mechanisms…
pick up where self-control stops Explicit behavior-consequence links
Clear, explicit, unambiguous, consequential
The role of forgiveness & compassion Forgiveness does not mean condoning,
approving, or forgetting
External factors…nintended consequences
