Welcome to the Padlet , which focuses on the important connection between clean water sustainability, climate change, and business ethics. Ethical concerns in companies are critical in today's dynamic global marketplace, particularly when it comes to matters that have an immediate influence on the welfare of people and the environment. In order to link a recent journal paper about clean water sustainability and climate change to the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) that our group has selected, it will be examined and analysed via the prism of many ethical theories.

Ethical decisions need to be considered in the work environment for different reasons in business. By maintaining ethical behaviour, it develops the prestige and esteem of a company, developing faith among clients, employee, investors and the community.

“Efficiency, faithfulness, consistency, reliability, cleanliness, punctuality, diligence, patience are called secondary virtues. They have the nickname “secondary” because they are not directly moral but are useful to society and are necessary for the implementation of moral actions,” (Conrad, 2022,p1-11).

1. Utilitarianism: a theory that would support business practices that maximise society's total well-being, including having access to clean water. Utilitarianism would back business choices that reduce environmental harm, protect water resources, and ensure that all people have equal access to clean water in the context of climate change and sustainable clean water sources. This would maximise utility for both current and future generations.

2. Virtue ethics is the study of developing moral qualities in people, such as social responsibility and environmental care. When virtue ethics are applied to the problem of clean water sustainability, it becomes clear how important it is for companies to manage water resources with sustainability, compassion, and integrity in mind. This promotes community well-being and the common good.

3. Deontological Ethics: Deontological ethics places a high value on upholding moral obligations of businesses to respect the right to clean water and fulfill their duty to minimize water pollution, promote conservation efforts, and ensure equitable access to clean water for all individuals and communities.

SDG 6, which aims to guarantee that everyone has access to clean water and sanitation, is closely related to the article. It highlights how important it is for companies, especially those in water-intensive sectors like drinks, to help put SDG 6 into practice. Through the advocacy of moral behaviours like conscientious water management and community involvement, businesses can have a beneficial effect on the quantity and calibre of clean water, contributing to the achievement of SDG 6 targets.

Investments in infrastructure and sanitation facilities; protection and restoration of water- related ecosystems; and hygiene education are among the steps necessary to ensure universal access to safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030, and improving water-use efficiency is one key to reducing water stress.
