In my opinion the Caltex plan was important for South Africa. It allowed the black majority to be able to occupy senior positions in their companies and also helped them to be able to be with and take care of their families and dependents. Blacks did not have the right to vote, they had to use separate public areas, including eating places, bathrooms, transportation and more. Caltex became a founding signatory to the Sullivan Principles in South Africa. Most of the investments were made by foreign companies. One of the largest companies was Caltex. There is a different standard of behavior for large companies like Standard and Texaco. These companies are multinationals with billions of dollars in annual revenue. In my opinion, multinationals have a moral and ethnic responsibility. They must set a good example for other companies. I believe Caltex did this by producing the product and also recognizing the rights of manual workers. Being morally and ethically wrong is what happens in this situation. Because blacks were not allowed to be with their families, they were forced to live in a highly segregated part of the county, they were prohibited from socializing with whites. It is obviously clear that no matter how hard they worked, they were paid unfairly. The worst thing was not being able to date a colleague just because he was white. Apartheid laws gained the supremacy of whites who were defiantly in control of the country even though they are outnumbered by blacks. Some of the benefits were that Caltex's employment policies included equal pay for the same job benefit plans and allowed for advancement in the company. regardless of race based on job performance which proved to be a very good...... middle of paper......your country on this facility can be allowed this serious type of slavery and expect no one to interfere. We can still allow there to be investors who don't agree with the way we treat human beings. Yes, it is very important for an organization to make money, that's the main reason why they are there. I don't think so, yes we are obligated to measure, but we have the right to say you have broken human rights laws, so we will break your laws. If the management of a company were to look primarily at the law and the rate of return on its investment as the ultimate criterion for deciding which investments to make, my answer is no! The primary responsibility for profit and return on investment lies with the owners, management and Board of Directors. Their decision to reach a consensus for the future of their organization in South Africa is premature.
