According to the textbook, ongoing challenges in the global business environment are mostly attributed to unethical business practices, failure to embrace technology advancements, and stiff competition among businesses. Imagine that you have been appointed as BP Chief Compliance Officer and must prepare a video presentation for BP's suppliers regarding BP's Supplier Code of Conduct to deliver via a web meeting. To prepare for your presentation, review BP's Supplier Code of Conduct, located at https://www.BP.com/supplier-responsibility/. Next, use a tablet, smartphone, laptop, desktop, or traditional video recorder to record a maximum of a five to seven minute dynamic video on BP's Code of Conduct. Alternatively, you may submit a five to six page paper instead of the video submission.
Write a five to six page paper in which you:
1. List specific changes that BP has made to its Code of Conduct in recent years. Provide at least one example of each change.
2. Explain the identified changes to the suppliers in such a way that they will understand the standards that BP requires in order to maintain their relationship with the company.
