Lease Agreement, this model is used if the land reform is only for the land and the timber is not transferred, Sappi will lease the land from the community, with the allowance for open space to be used by the community for other uses. (Sappi, 2010) land reform in practice Sappi has had much success with its land reform program. This can be seen in the Lothair area in Mpumalanga, where 8000Ha of land has been handed over to the community. Sappi has successfully entered into a Plantation Management Plan and a Timber Supply Agreement with the community. (SAForestryMagazine, 2011b) Other success have occurred in the Ixopo area (SAForestryMagazine, 2011a), Umzimhkulu Area (SAForestryMaga2011c) and the Natal Midlands (SAForestryMagazine, 2011d). Sappi’s funding objective, in partnering with communities, is to effect meaningful change by providing equitable access to resources and opportunities in response to identified needs in areas where they operate. They adopt a participatory approach by identifying the needs of individual communities by consulting with the community, its leaders and with the local government. They then tailor appropriate programmes to meet the specific needs of that community and the environment. Sappi claims that in this way, projects become more sustainable and self-sufficient (Sappi, 2008). Below are some of the many community projects that Sappi are involved in:
In South Africa, Sappi are experiencing water problems following two years of below-average rainfall. As with energy, Sappi realise that it makes economic sense to intensively manage water usage. While pulp and paper manufacturing does use large quantities of water, Sappi claim to return approximately 90% of the water back to the environment. In terms of quantity, the surface and ground water supply to the European mills has proven abundant even in very dry summers. Sappi currently use only a small amount of the permitted water abstraction limits in this region. The risk of plantation fires is always present during the dry winter months and for this reason, an extensive fire protection strategy has been implemented by Sappi South Africa. This strategy increases community participation in fire prevention and reduces the incidents of fires through regional and district Fire Protection Associations. Sappi have also embarked on a fire crew training program. This programme has resulted in an improved response times to fires. The above initiatives have prevented major losses to Sappi and more importantly, reduced the potential harm to the environment Pulp mills have used black liquor as an energy source since the 1930s. Black liquor is the spent cooking liquor from the kraft process which results when pulpwood is digested into paper pulp by removing lignin, hemicellulose and other extractives from the wood to free the cellulose fibres. Black liquor contains more than half of the energy content of the wood fed into the digester (Stenius, 2000).

Potential Way Ahead: As the Basic Training Command codifies this process at the schoolhouse, NSW is exploring how this may apply to the rest of NSW, by evolving “word of mouth” feedback, with a consistent process for the Teams. APPENDIX C Mapping Naval Special Warfare Methodologies to Ethics Recommendations The NSW approach to deliberate and integrated character development within their basic training systems aligns with the Recommendations suggested in this paper. Recommendation #1: Inculcate understanding of the “naval profession” Members of the SEAL and SWCC community, as with most of our 18 communities, identify most strongly with their community rather than the naval profession. Thus, the SEAL and SWCC Ethos permeates all selection, training, development, and evaluation. [Note: To the degree that we can develop as strong of an identity with our naval profession – and our Navy Ethos – as we have with our respective communities, the stronger our Navy will be.] Recommendation #2: Construct “good barrels” and cultivate “good apples” NSW recognized that some of their selection and training processes (specifically, overvaluing physical performance and undervaluing character attributes) created blind spots in their development pipeline and missed opportunities to select, train, and develop the best people. As a result, NSW has constructed “better barrels” to better enable cultivation of “good apples.” The new NSW system includes deliberate, on-going, integrated, and constructive feedback processes along with opportunities to correct/improve behavior and actions, which demonstrates proactive investment in the character development of their people. Recommendation #3: Build a culture for Navy ethics beyond compliance From the NSW perspective, a culture of compliance equates to a culture of physical performance – where failing a physical test-gate garners the most attention, to include performance review boards. Absent from this culture was/is awareness – and assessment – of important character attributes critical for NSW team success (e.g., trustworthiness, selflessness, good teammate, etc.). The new system deliberately incorporates peer and leader assessments of character attributes as development tools. With the new NSW system, a “red flag” translates to “an opportunity to further develop and help trainees succeed” – vice a red flag equating to failure. As a result, the new system places even greater, if not equal, emphasis on character as they do (physical) competence – initiating the shift from a “compliance only” culture to a “competence and character” culture.

discussion but the most dominant was the Principle-Based Model in which resolutions are guided by principles and rules around “respect for persons, autonomy, beneficence, no maleficence and justice” (Hamric, Spross & Hanson, 2009, p. 324). During her lucid moments the patient’s nurses and doctors gathered that she wanted her family involved and though the fiancée does not want this, the committee is devoted to making sure the patient’s autonomy is respected by siding with family involvement. Also at this time there is no suspicion that the decisions made by the family are not in the patient’s best interest. Some committee members use casuistry theories, relating past cases/situation to this one and decisions that were taken in the past. It is then agreed that the case will be reviewed again after the court hearing scheduled for next month. To address the second topic, life support for patients without a surrogate decision maker, members use preventive ethics principles. Here the discussion does not revolve around a current case/issue but instead, around recent research and the impact it may have in the hospital should such a case arise. A few cases have come up in the past with regards to the topic of who should bear the responsibility of decision making where there is not a surrogate decision maker. The committee, using preventive ethics thus sought to review what policies the hospital has in place so far and develop them further to accommodate this evolving wing. As the dialogues progress members’ conflicting morals and values become clear. The question is that in cases where nothing is known about patient preferences, the patient for one reason or another is unable to

Ethics Case Studies People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, is a nonprofit animal rights organization known for its controversial approach to communications and public relations. In 2003, PETA launched a new campaign, named “Holocaust on Your Plate,” that compares the slaughter of animals for human use to the murder of 6 million Jews in WWII. As collections of songs, studio recordings from an upcoming album or merely unreleased demos, are , these outlets cover the leak with a breaking story or a blog post. But they don’t stop there. Rolling Stone and Billboard often also will include a link within the story to listen to the songs that were leaked. Frank Whelan, a features writer who also wrote a history column for the Allentown, Pennsylvania, Morning Call, took part in a gay rights parade in June 2006 and stirred up a classic ethical dilemma. The situation raises any number of questions about what is and isn’t a conflict of interest. Three former members of the Eagles rock band came to Denver during the 2004 election campaign to raise money for a U.S. Senate candidate, Democrat Ken Salazar. John Temple, editor and publisher of the Rocky Mountain News, advised his reporters not to go to the fundraising concerts. The Watergate story is considered perhaps American journalism’s defining accomplishment. Two intrepid young reporters for The Washington Post, carefully verifying and expanding upon information given to them by sources they went to great lengths to protect, revealed brutally damaging information about one of the most powerful figures on Earth, the American president. The SPJ Code of Ethics offers guidance on at least three aspects of this dilemma. “Test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid .” One source was not sufficient in revealing this information.

How will the Bank ensure that Borrowers comply with the ESCP? ESS2 Labor and working conditions Definition and necessity of and requirements for managing labor employed by certain third parties (brokers, agents and intermediaries) Application and implementation impacts of certain labor requirements to contractors, community and voluntary labor and primary suppliers Constraints in making grievance mechanisms available to all project workers Referencing national law in the objective of supporting freedom of association and collective bargaining Operationalization of an alternative mechanism relating to freedom of association and collective bargaining where national law does not recognize such rights Issues in operationalizing the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) provisions/standards ESS2 is very good, especially with regards to child labor, forced labor, and grievance redress mechanisms. The minimum working age of 14 too low. There is widespread child labor in different regions of the world, even in those that are signatories to ILO conventions against child labor. How does the Bank expect a country that can’t comply with the Convention to comply with the ESF? Many children migrate from rural areas to cities due to economic need -children living in rural areas should go to school, but parents need the money. The World Bank should include financial help for families aimed at keeping children at home. Otherwise the sole prohibition of child labor will not be enough. Paragraph 13 mentions that where there is a difference between the ESS and national law, the project will go forward under the lowest bar. This is not good. The bank should set the bar higher. Understanding child labor in the Ethiopian context requires understanding the cultural nuances found in the country. There are different communities in Ethiopia where the definition of childhood varies from that of the UN. ESS3 Climate change and GHG emissions The relation between provisions on climate change in the ESF and broader climate change commitments, specifically UNFCCC Proposed approaches to measuring and monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Bank projects and implications thereof, in line with the proposed standard, including determining scope, threshold, How prepared is the Bank to restrict lending due to non-compliance of GHG emissions? Will the World Bank really shy away from financing the extraction of oil, considering the harmful effects that it can have on the planet? The World Bank should wait for the Paris declaration to be adopted before deciding on the language included in the Framework.
