Physical Privacy (SLP)
In this module 4 SLP assignment, you will develop a better understanding of the ethical issue that you have identified in module 3. One way of better understanding a business decision or ethical issue is to identify the values of the stakeholders who are involved in the decision.
You learned something about “stakeholders” and “stakeholder theory” in the module 4 background page.
Once you have identified the stakeholders you may want to interview them (a few representatives is fine if you have identified stakeholder groups), if you can, to see what they think about the issue and decision. Your own views might change once you’ve heard from the stakeholders. If you are not able to interview them, put yourself in their position and consider what their views might be based on their values.
SLP Expectations:
Please write a two to three page paper, not including cover page and reference page, explaining who the stakeholders for this business decision and ethical issue are and explaining their views on the issue and decision.
General Expectations
Your paper should be double-spaced with 12-point font.
Your paper should have a separate cover page and a separate reference page.
Use APA-style.
Be sure to proofread your paper.

For the SLP, you will need to familiarize yourself with the concept of the stakeholder. A stakeholder is someone who has an interest in what a company does. A stakeholder can be the (shareholders) investors, employees, trade unions, the government. Anyone who has some “stake” in the outcome of what the company does. Don’t confuse shareholder and stakeholder. All shareholders are stakeholders, but not all stakeholders are shareholders.

Values of stakeholders on Ethical Issues
The main ethical issue identified in module 3 was reduction of carbon footprints by United Parcel Services of America Company being an element of its strategy to reduce the impacts of global warming. Carbon foot prints entail the measure for the determination of the percentage of green house gases emitted by an entity in the course of its production process through to the acquisition of revenue from sale of the service or goods. Global warming is among the most pertinent problems in the 21st century and has numerous stakeholders with different views and values on the issue owing its impacts on human life and development globally. A corporate stakeholder is an organization, another entity, or person who a firm's decision affects directly or indirectly. This study aims at enumerating various stakeholders involved in the ethical decision above as well as their views and values on the matter as stated below.
Public/ Community
The public forms the main stakeholder in the aim to reduce global warming and they give a number of views including generating of ways to use renewable energy in place of carbon fuels, using of building codes that are efficient in energy utilization, strong regulations on carbon gases emissions, and increasing public finance for the development of clean energy (Leal, 2013). The public also have the view that corporations globally have social responsibility for emission reduction and recommend that United Parcel Services of America Company meet the 35 miles per gallon, fuel efficiency standard in its transportation means (Leal, 2013). This shows that the public values a clean environment from their views on the ethical issue.
Researchers and scientists
Researchers and academic personnel on climate change play an important role in the ethical decision as they provide a basis for deciding on measures to adapt to climate change, planning, investment and regulation decisions. They believe that there is a need to implement clean energy and alternative energy sources to reduce global warming as they value a clean and sustainable environment.
