If the holder died before the age of 65, the funds  would be transferred to a beneficiary<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230; which is an interesting, and refreshing, take on bonds.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Easy Targets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I wouldn&#8217;t have a problem with this proposal, if it wasn&#8217;t for the fact that this emphasis upon ethics is becoming more and more prevalent across the sustainability business community.\u00a0 This is not a new point of view .. see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/no-more-ethical-businesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Please! No More Ethical Businesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When I wrote that post, a lot of people disagreed with me, saying that ethics should come into business management and that sustainability is nothing more than a branch of ethics.<\/p>\n<p>I still disagree.\u00a0 Sustainability has nothing to do with ethics.\u00a0 Sustainability is all about resource management and the recognition that society (including business) relies upon a finite supply of basic raw materials, from the air we breath to employee goodwill.<\/p>\n<p>Ethics, on the other hand, is all about one&#8217;s personal and social moral compass, the decisions we make day-to-day, week-to-week and year-to-year.<\/p>\n<p>There is no empirical ethical business .. that is nothing more than the belief in social and moral imperialism.\u00a0 Ethics can and should be allowed to change day-to-day &#8230; to say otherwise is to imply that we do not learn from our experiences.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ethical Certification In Balance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I have to emphasise that the Progress Review editorial was focussed upon individuals.\u00a0 It embraces businessmen, but its main intent is to propose that &#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>candidates for government offices, for example, could become ethically  certified. Executives of companies could also be ethically certified.  Maybe some religious leaders might also seek ethical certification &#8230; [people want] their doctors, accountants, lawyers, and construction contractors to be  ethically certified. People would want to buy services and products from  ethically certified producers. Perhaps people getting married would  want their spouse to be ethically certified!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is where the &#8220;ethically correct&#8221; agenda is leading.\u00a0 The Progress Review editorial continues:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>there is ethically certified timber that avoids wood from  unsustainable logging. Several organizations, such as the Rainforest  Alliance, ethically certify coffee and other goods. There are products  such as cocoa that are certified as \u201cethically responsible\u201d and \u201cfair  trade certified.\u201d  But I know of no organization that provides ethical certification for persons.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This a) confuses ethically correct actions with sustainable actions, and b) suggests that what is right for a corporation is right for an individual.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>PLEASE, No More Ethical Businesses<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>So once again I say: PLEASE, No More Ethical Businesses.\u00a0 Ethics should not be a stricture or commandment against which businesses can measure themselves.\u00a0 I choose where to buy my food because of my beliefs, but just because I champion organic food does mean to say it&#8217;s wrong that I sometimes buy non-organic food because it has less food miles.<\/p>\n<p>This is what is meant by a free market: putting all the options on the shelf and allowing the consumer to decide.\u00a0 The moment you bring ethics into the equation you&#8217;re making a moral decision for the consumer .. and if you believe in a consumer based society, you have to see that that is (ahem) ethically wrong.<\/p>\n<p><sup><strong>Picture Credit:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/chiropractic\/3960454599\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gunslinger Art by planetc1 <\/a>under <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/deed.en_GB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike Licence<\/a>.\u00a0 Trimmed by Chris Milton.<\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this week, I forget why, I was wandering around the internet looking for something (as you do) when my eye lighted upon an editorial in The Progress Report.
