Should business have an important role in strategies to protect the environment?

1. The first reflective piece requires you to reflect on how business should (or should not) be worried about more than profit. Topic: Should business have an important role in strategies to protect the environment? Information: Read Ignatius‘s (2012) Captain Planet‘ article. Reflecting on these articles and what you have realised since studying this course answer this question in a reflective way.
Way of making sense: Useful conceptual background might come from the segment of the course which discusses environmental sustainability, or from the part on the relationship between business and society. Personal experience: this may be experience you have had of occasions where a business has placed undue emphasis on profit with unfortunate consequences, or where the concern shown by a business for the community has had positive consequences, or some other personal experience.
