    Coca-Cola faced criticism for unethical practices that harmed local communities. In India, the company's bottling operations depleted water resources for a village during peak production season. Coca-Cola also had issues with racial discrimination, paying unfair wages and distributing work unfairly based on race, though they later settled financially and investigated. The company should regularly assess its practices to improve management, employee communication, and address any issues.

    Unethical Practices of Coca-Cola Co.

    Ethical crisis has experienced by a lot of companies and have resolved it in such ways
    that stakeholders will not be greatly affected. Also maintaining their profitability, they think of
    ways where it benefits the company and those involved. There are some companies that doesn’t
    realize that at the expense of their profitability many unethical practices are being done. One
    example is the Coca-Cola Corporation. This company is one of the biggest and longest running
    business there is and they have faced a lot of criticism regarding unethical practices. The Kala
    Dera case of 2004 where the community there experience rapid water shortage and it is to have
    been caused by the bottling operations the Coca-Cola Co. started. As the company reached its
    peak production, the community experienced intense water shortage. It is good news to have the
    company at its peak but they should also realize how their actions are affecting the people living
    in the area. Another is their ethical issue about racial discrimination. This issue is really sensitive
    because to have unfair wages and work distribution just because of people of color is utter
    disrespectful and discrimination. It is good to hear that the company made the effort of resolving
    this issue through money settlement and thorough investigation but the fact that they did those
    unethical practices would still somehow affect the company. Coca-Cola Co. should regularly
    have assessments so that they would know the areas they lack in so that it may be improved.
    They should improve their management and communication with their employees as well as
    customers.
    Unethical but Common Business Practices

    In 2015, the Washington Ethics Resource Center stated that within the past year, almost
    half of us witnessed some form of ethical misconduct in the workplace. Some of the most
    common unethical behaviors include misuse of time, lying to employees, employee theft, and
    violating internet policies. This behavior has been so common that a lot of companies have been
    practicing it. It’s a good thing that some people don’t just leave it as is and report it to the higher
    ups so that it can be resolved immediately. Since it is common it may be hard for people to be
    refrained from doing so especially the behavior of violating internet policies. It may be hard to
    be proven if employees are just surfing the internet and updating their social media accounts
    instead of working. False advertising is also a common practice in the business world where it
    was advertised as scientifically proven or guaranteed results. As companies cross the line
    between truth and lies, they still manage to attain profit. As more and more unethical practice
    arises, it occurred to me that there is really a need for companies to fix the areas they least excel
    especially the managing of business and the employees. They should see to it that they conduct
    regular meetings and assessments to remind managers and employees the unethical practices
    some may not be aware of. If by any chance they did not know of such practices proves that they
    are lacking and needs to be resolved quickly because it may affect the business’ profitability.
    Majority may not pay any mind to this because a lot of people are doing it but it doesn’t mean
    they should tolerate it. What is unethical should be corrected and resolved with reasonable
    course of actions that not only benefit the company but the stakeholders as well.
