Corruption can lead to many implications for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Such as negativley impacting SDG3: Good health and wellbeing and SDG12: Responsible Production and Consumption. As both goals can be impacted upon by businesses that create endless amounts of money. SDG3: Good Health and Wellbeing can be impacted upon by corruption due to the fact that mental and emotional health and wellbeing can be impacted upon, as corruption of businesses can lead to losses of jobs, sadness, anxiety and depression for individuals within the business due to the fact that the masterminds behind large businesses often take plenty of the money for themselves, leaving little to none for employees. With Australia ranking 18th in corruption status (United Nations, 2022), we are a country that has less corruption compared to countries such as South Sudan and Iran, which rank 180th (South Sudan) and 150th (Iran), in both these countries the SDGs are not aknowledged at all by the local communities and lack in good health and wellbeing (SDG3). Furthermore, SDG3 can be improved upon when countries such as Australia show less corruption, leading to an improvement within the sustainable goal itself.

Utilitarianism refers to a theory of morality that focuses on the outcome. It differs from right to wrong based on how it makes people feel. For example, if the outcome fosters happiness or pleasure it is deemed good and vice versa. One of the main principles of utilitarianism is that pleasure and/or happiness is the only thing that has intrinsic value. The article found that consumers feel happier and more comfortable when they know brands and companies, they buy from take an interest in the welfare of animals and the environment. This relates to utilitarianism as the outcome for a company making ethically conscious decisions and taking care in the welfare of animals and environment which leads to happier and more pleased consumers. The theory of utilitarianism relates to SDG12: sustainable consumer and production patterns as the whole point of SDG12 is to get sustainable practises in place which leads to a better overall result, this subsequently leads to a healthier environment and healthier people who feel better knowing that what can be done to help the environment and the people who live in it is being done. Not only does this benefit humans but also has a positive impact on all life above and below the surface which is the goal for SDG14: life below water and SDG15: life on land. Keeping animals alive is vital, all animals a part of an intricate and delicate web of interconnecting ecosystems that rely on each organism to perform their role for it to function. Therefore, by protecting animals both land and sea which is the goal for SDG14 and 15 the end outcome has only positive benefits which fosters happiness.

Volunteering is an action that humans have been part of in all walks of life, maybe its done by volunteers giving their time and physically being part of the change, another way is by donating resources and possessions no longer needed and the last is by donating money to fundraisers. While all these actions are great, they all have the same floor, scale the scale in which humans have able to actively help. Many people can’t afford to give much money, any resources and especial time, this is where governments need to step in and get involved. Governments need to provide the resources to facilitate the people that want to volunteer. This could mean things like creating donations bayes in local areas with easy access and most importantly making sure they are promoted correctly so that people are aware of them. The government could have the stations and bayes preset up only leaving a need for volunteers. Lastly governments could help in donating is by correcting the tax laws so that the companies that are the reason for so much pollution are taxed correctly once that is done the money can be used to help fix and prevent future pollution.

Through research and development of new and innovative technologies, strategies or initiatives comes an opportunity to create more efficient and effective solutions for the ever more pressing issue of pollution. By prioritizing the issue and allocating more funding towards research and development allows scientists to have greater chance for creating ways to reduce pollution. It is quite difficult to reduce pollution on a global scale at present time, while many people think shutting down large corporations that heavily contribute to global pollution is a viable way around the issue, they would be wrong. Many large corporation that do contribute to waste are heavily relied by society so shutting them down would lead to a very unsustainable result. That is why the best way to find applicable solutions that won’t negative implication is through research and development.

# data[].attributes.body
As the days go on more and more research and funding is being put towards solving all issues in the world and especially pollution, however pollution will continue to be an issue until specific measures and requirements are put in place, this means that its all the more important to educate the youth of the word on this massive people because one day when grow up they will suffer the problems we cant fix today. According to World Economics (2022) there is only an average of 8.7 years of schooling globally, that’s just the average many countries have as little as 2 years of schooling. So, with such little time to educate children and teenagers how then will there be time in their curriculum to learn of problems such as pollution and climate change. Therefore, in the little time they are being educated it needs to be meaningful and productive.

# data[].attributes.body
Perhaps the most important way to solve pollution is making sure the not one but all governments around the globe implement laws, rules and regulations to help prevent the continued growth of pollution. As humans start to realise the true state of the world and how bad pollution really is they try to change their habits, such as making sure to recycle their waste, use the cars less and many other things however as much as small actions like that can help especially if all humans participated,  most of the damage is coming from Industrialization, use of pesticides and nitrogen-based fertilizers, crop residues in agriculture and urbanization so because these are issues that are out of the control for individuals the governments need to step up and create laws, rules and regulations to prevent further damage.

Throughout this Wiki we will be, highlighting the major elements such as overconsumption unethical behaviours, where both articles discussed mention both these key elements that are negativley impacting SDG12: Responsible Production and Consumption. SDG12 aims to limit big brands and consumers from increasing pollution levels and the impact pollution has on animal, worker and community welfare. Overall, this Wiki padlet will give an insight into the ethics, possible careers and solutions.

# data[].attributes.body
Overconsumption of clothing is depicted within this image below, with the lady wearing a nice dress, yet with clothing and a polluted area behind her, the lady doesn't seem to care. This can be identified in the article, 'Fast Fashion', as the big brands such as ZARA and H&M for example continue to create clothing for a new season every year. The overproduction is clearly shown with no socially responsible examples being shown. Within the article examples of solutions can be shown, such as using recycled clothing and even renting out items of clothing to be shared within communities, however, big brands are money-hungry businesses that don't seem to care about where their products end up. During 'Fast Fashion' and 'Financial Priming' the two articles can relate to each other through the low levels of social responsibility, as the articles mention the fact that big brands are not going above and beyond to help decrease pollution or factors causing it. 'Financial Priming' converses about the corruption within big brand companies, by analysis of employees, where some employees are taking money from businesses without them noticing, the overproduction of goods/services has allowed employees to steal money from these big brands, thus causing even more corruption, showing us overproduction is causing negatives. SDG12 was made for this exact reason by the United Nations, so why hasn't anything been done?

# data[].attributes.body
Corporate Social Responsibility (SDG) is known as the business ability to go above and beyond legal obligations. Therefore highlighting that 'fast fashion' is considered to be unethical as they continue to bring out new clothes and don't use CSR, this is because they are able too due to the amounts of money they have resulting in many new clothes ending up in pollution and affecting the environment.

Additionally, the 'Financial Priming' article demonstrates how certain individuals choose to take money from their employers and this can have several effects on staff morale within the business as well as ethics of care towards both managers and other employees.

Overproduction of clothing is often due to a lack of knowledge when forecasting estimates are made, a change of taste within fashion trends, and customer cost saving. This can be shown through the fast fashion article, where consumers have not purchased the products being produced, leading to these products going up in flames or donated to countries ‘in need’. Parts of Africa have received used or donated clothes from big brands such as Nike, H&M and ZARA, yet, only clothing that is picked up are used, the items left behind are sent to local landfill areas, causing pollution to rise from these unwanted clothes. The unwanted clothes are often set on fire, causing the local air pollution to rise, therefore leading to human and animal welfare being impacted negatively, as the smoke and stench of the pollution is created, all due to the overproduction of clothing.

Ethics of care, relates to ‘caring for others’ (Shaw, W., Barry, V., & Muntean, D.).

This theory interrelates with SDG12: Responsible Production and Consumption, due to the fact the ethics of care refers to compassion and empathy of individuals, when this is shown for workers, communities and those struggling around the world with the pollution problems of overproduction or overconsumption of products, made by big clothing brands for example. SDG12 does not just focus on being responsible and reasonable when producing products for consumption, yet it is about caring for the well-being of those at harm. Furthermore, sustainable practices such as recycling old clothing materials should be guided by a sense of care and responsibility for those individuals in harm's way.

# data[].attributes.body
SDG12 focuses on businesses and producers to be responsible when creating and selling their products to consumers, furthermore, when producing goods, the aim for businesses should be to minimise the amount of single use plastics, instead businesses could use recyclable packaging, allowing for pollution levels to decrease from here after. Pollution negatively impacts ecosystems, decrease natural resources available to us, and impacts on human health and wellbeing, therefore, when SDG12 is impacted, so is SDG3: Good health and wellbeing, due to the overproduction of plastics, clothing and much more, where irresponsible overproduction causes pollution and the health of individuals is negatively impacted.

The ‘Financial Priming’ article consists of three experiments, by examining the psychological thoughts behind each individual responsible for bringing up unethical behaviour, and their beliefs towards unethical workplace behaviours. The major findings were that those with less financial knowledge, were more distant from whistleblowing and bringing up unethical behaviour. Another major finding within this article was that financially primed individuals protect those who rely on accurate financial reports, rather they whistleblow, to protect the company.

# data[].attributes.body
Within the ‘Fast fashion’ article an online survey was conducted, 350 fast fashion consumers were surveyed about their personal values and beliefs of fast fashion, before and after information was given to them about the pollution increasing and being created by the effects of overconsumption of clothing. The major findings were that these individuals were open to change, due to the negative effects that they could be causing by throwing away their clothing items.

# data[].attributes.body
The two articles we selected in Assessment 3 were:

‘Do ethical concerns and personal values influence the purchase intention of fast-fashion clothing?’, written by Stringer, T., Mortimer, G. and Payne, A.R. (2020).

‘Financial priming, psychological distance, and recognizing financial misreporting as an ethical issue: The role of financial reporting’, written by Hunt, M. Curtis, M. Rixom J. (2022).

The ‘Fast fashion’ article focuses on the increasing rates of materials and clothing being manufactured, this has resulted in mounting concerns surrounding the impact on environmental, worker and animal welfare. The role of financial reporting focuses more on the impact of financial priming on ethical judgements and psychological distance and how it can influence the effects of financial priming.

Ethics of care theory can be identified during the journal article; ‘Do ethical concerns and personal values influence the purchase intention of fast-fashion clothing?’, when the openness to change is developed by individuals learning about the negative implications they can be causing when purchasing clothing items that contain animal skin, showing the individual's ethic of care as they are caring for animals by not purchasing animal-based fashion. SDG12 can also impact SDG6: Clean water and Sanitation, due to the irresponsible production of goods, that leads to water pollution, where water is unable to be used or consumed due to unsanitary water, whether its due to industrial wastes, marine dumping or oil leaks/spills, these examples all negatively impact SDG6.

Kant’s ethics posit that there can always be a right and wrong action. The results of the actions are moot. He believed that a person's true reasons behind their morality can be determined by the action itself with no need to observe the results. The people that were surveyed all indicated that consumers were more likely to shop at and spend money at companies and brands that take interest in the effects caused on animals and the environment. Kant's theory of good will tells us it's our duty to do the right thing. The SDG’s are designed to help the environment, flora and fauna and of course human survival and liveability. To act and partate in ways that aim to achieve the UN’s SDG’s would be considered doing the right thing.

According to Kantian ethics, moral behavior's should be motivated by a sense of obligation rather than by personal preference or self-interest. This concept argues that people and organisations should have a willingness to act on obligation. Act in a way that supports sustainable consumption and production patterns in the context of SDG 12, not just because it immediately benefits them but also because it is the right thing to do, to ensure ecologically friendly practices. This may entail making sacrifices or incurring additional costs.

Obligation for Future Generations: Kant's philosophy acknowledges our responsibility for future generations. This principle emphasises the need to maintain sustainable consumption and production patterns that do not exhaust resources or result in irreparable environmental damage, which is closely aligned with the objectives of SDG 12. Acting morally in accordance with Kantian principles would entail taking into account how current consumption and production patterns may affect future generations and working to reduce unfavorable effects.
