THE TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE AND POSITIVE SOCIAL CHANGE
In your role as consultant to the executive team of a midsize copper smelting company in northern Canada. Here is a summary of the team’s current situation and need:
Due to some recent changes to the local environmental air quality laws, the company’s large coal-fueled smelting furnace is now operating out of compliance due to high levels of pollutants in the exhaust gases. The regulatory agency has given the company 12 months to demonstrate compliance, after which it will be fined $1,000 per day until the operations meet the regulation. The company has two alternatives. The first alternative is to install air scrubbers to reduce the output pollutant levels. The second alternative is to convert the smelting furnace from coal to natural gas. Both alternatives will meet the current regulatory requirements, but there is a slight concern that the air scrubber solution may not meet future regulatory restrictions. The executive team wants you to perform a financial performance analysis on both alternatives using several different capital budgeting methodologies. The team also is seeking guidance on nonfinancial considerations regarding the company’s ethical and social responsibilities related to this decision.
