Memo – Global Warming

Memo – Global Warming

To: The CEO, William B. Friedman

From: consultant Con Glom Inc

Date:

Copies: Members of the management committee.

Subject: Effects of global warming and the possible solutions

Background

Hope you are doing well Mr. Friedman, the main reason for this memo is to state the problems in regard to the present global warming condition in the company.

There has emerged a report on global warming from the coalition of concerned scientists and environmental groups; according to the report, the recent gradual heating has resulted from industrial and human activities. The scientists have pointed out several industrial and human activities. Due to this, scientists have pointed out several risks that will arise as a result of global warming and lead to climatic change. The risks include loss of animal habitats, disruption of agriculture, shoreline erosions, and rising ocean levels.

According to the coalition report, Glom Inc. and other large organizations are using loopholes to avoid complying with the federal emission standards since they are more concerned with their profits and jobs rather than the environment.

 Policy based on the solutions

In creating a comprehensive plan to cap up the problem, Con Glom Inc. is faced with two decisions, which are filtering the systems plants or installing the systems. According to them, filtering the system’s plants tends to be very expensive and is likely to decrease the productivity of the company’s manufacturing plants, especially when the company is facing a serious financial crisis. However, the company is considering installing systems and also publishing its main actions as a way of countering the negative image indicated by the report.

However, this decision will not impress the employees and their families as it’s going to cost them since the company will be cutting down on the workforce and trimming production down by 5%. Additionally, the company will result in closing one of its eleven operating facilities. If the company decides to install the system in the ten facilities, then it will be forced to close its oldest facility and the least manufacturing plant located in Greenwich. Once this action is taken, more than 1400 employees will lose their jobs, especially those in areas already suffering from unemployment.

Alternatively, the company can install the filtering systems in only five of its plants.in which case the Greenwich Illinois facility will not be closed but only production will be cut down and 7000 employees will be laid off.

We’ll write everything from scratch

You are a consultant for Con-Glom Inc., an industrial equipment manufacturing firm. A coalition of concerned scientists and environmental groups has issued a report on global warming, the theory that the recent gradual heating of the earth’s atmosphere is a result of human and industrial activity. The scientists point to several climate change risks: rising ocean levels, erosion of shorelines, disruption of agriculture, and loss of animal habitat. The coalition’s report suggests that Con-Glom and other large corporations are using loopholes to avoid complying with federal emissions standards because they are more concerned with profits and jobs than environmental preservation.

Memo – Global Warming

In response to the report and the public outcry it produces, Con-Glom faces a decision about whether or not to install filtering systems at its plants. The filtering systems are expensive to purchase and install (about $75,000 per site), and their use would initially decrease the productivity of Con-Glom’s manufacturing plants at a time when the company already faces serious financial problems. Nevertheless, the company is seriously considering installing the filtering systems and publicizing its action as a means of countering the negative publicity generated by the report.

However, the decision is likely to be unpopular among employees and their families. The cost of the filtering systems and the loss of manufacturing output would force Con-Glom to scale back production by 5% and close one of its eleven production facilities. If the filtering systems are installed at ten facilities, the company will be forced to close its oldest and least efficient manufacturing plant, located in Greenwich, Illinois. This action would put 1,400 employees out of work in an area already suffering from high unemployment. Alternatively, the company could install the filtering systems at only five of its plants. In this case, the Greenwich, Illinois, plant would not need to be closed, but production would still need to be scaled back, and 700 employees would be laid off.
