Answer: F) Wages G) Working Conditions H) Child Labor J) Environmental Degradation

Explanation:

The ethical dilemmas that occur for the producer or farmer during the production stage of the global supply chain occur in the fields of child labor, fair wages, fair working conditions, and the ecological sustainability of production methods. Child labor is a serious ethical issue that pertains to producers in developing countries. Lack of safe and healthy working conditions leads to another ethical concern during production. The workers are not provided with adequate salary in most of the developing countries. The ecological sustainability undergoes ethical dilemma when the production leads to environmental degradation. The production degrades the environment by over-utilizing the resources and polluting the environment and destructs the ecosystem.

Fair purchasing agreement, discriminatory pricing and corruption are the ethical issues pertaining to middlemen and environmental waste pertains to retailers as the packaging leads to considerable environmental waste. Conflict of interest pertains to consumers when they give more importance to own benefit than ethics and ecological sustainability while buying products.
