The inconsistency between environmental and business ethics is well-known. Though academicians as well as businessmen aim to bring together these apparently incompatible contexts of ethics, businessmen have, in practice, basically skirted the sustainability discussion by assuming an "ethically pragmatic, purged, and reassuring" sustainable development version (Milne & Byrch, 2011)
A more enduring modern management formula states 'if it can't be measured, it can't be managed'. Because CSR and ethical ways of conducting business are vital management and corporate governance functions, organizations must be receptive to developing tools that make a firm's social, environmental and economic standing more transparent to shareholders, executives, as well as to other stakeholders (Norman & MacDonald, 2004)
Capitalism's present focus lies on creation, rather than distribution, of wealth. Distributive justice, in reality, isn't seen in economists' discussions (Sud & VanSandt, 2011)
