Although there is concern about theft and abuse, Company Q has a greater responsibility to all stakeholders at every level of the organization. Donating day-old produce is a clear path to gaining popularity and prestige within the community. Unless the business goal is to sell day-old products, the organization must discard these products regardless of cost. Many companies and industries do not enjoy the public's trust. This problem has been going on for decades. Any successful organization should be aware of this reality and do whatever it takes to excel. Company Q also alleges that employee fraud and abuse pose a threat to lost profits. But Company Q is responsible for screening employees upon hiring, and the organization is responsible for establishing a professional culture that employees can adopt. If a company can't trust its employees, some employees shouldn't be hired in the first place.
