Human dignity resides in each of us and this dignity must be recognized and respected by all. Recognize that corporations have social responsibilities as they are an integral part of society. Global ethics recalls that those realities, on which others build upon, have to be protected first. Demands resulting from the social system of a particular country have to find their limits in the protection of the global ecosystem or the aim of maximization of labour productivity in agriculture and forestry should not be realized at the expense of biodiversity landscapes. Vital interests of future generations have to be considered as having priority before less vital interests of the present generation.
Typical examples are climate change, fresh water, clean air and soil erosion.
Supply chains have to be designed in a way, that the goods can enter after usage or consumption into natural or industrial recycling processes. If serious damages to persons, animals, plants and the ecosystem cannot be excluded, an action or pattern of behaviour should be refrained from. A striking example is the use of negotiations and community principles to resolve conflicts in other countries. Never use armed intervention to resolve a conflict. Never go to war .
