What is Scholfield Honda’s primary ethical responsibility in situations where a proposed green initiative is cost-prohibitive or even detrimental to the company’s bottom line?

The best choice I went with made the economy thrive and successful it stated I was an ECO – Hero but my grade does not reflect that. The first one was the Distribution Company which was good but had some issues with the proposal, the proposal was straight forward yet not enough information to help Sparksville be a sustainable city. The proposal was to create jobs five hundred jobs for Sparksville citizens but that was all, the Distribution Company promised to do emissions testing a couple of times a year but that was not enough to make me want to vouch for the them to the Board.

That is not really the case because (1) the abbreviation CCO (Chief Communication Officer) already exists and (2) other companies such as Google claimed at least 3-4 years before this book was
