Question

MKD Transportation owns and operates a fleet of container ships and tankers that transport goods around the globe. Company executives have just been contacted by the media with a credible report that one of their ships is leaking an oily substance off the coast of Belize. If true, some of the world's most beautiful coral reefs could be in danger. On the other hand, the captain of the ship in question has not notified the company of any problem, and cleanup could be very costly. Environmental groups and the government of Belize have demanded that the company admit responsibility and immediately begin cleanup. 1. Will MKD be able to greenwash their company after this? Explain. 2. If MKD adopts an obstructionist stance, how will the company respond to this report?

Explanation / Answer

it would be very difficult for MKD to greenwash, company will respond to that it is not the company fault and can fire the person responsible.
