Directions: Formulate recommendations and strategies on how to minimize and maximize a business’s negative
impact and positive impact, respectively.
BUSINESS’ POSITIVE IMPACT AND HOW TO MAXIMIZE IT.
1. Sourcing raw materials from renewable resources – Use local and renewable sources for your products to help the
environment and have a good supply of raw materials.
2. Sourcing labor services, technical professionals, and managers in huge plantations and mining companies may opt
to build communities within their business complex that has educational, health, social, and cultural religious facilities
– Everyone should have employment thus improving their life standard resulting to them helping the community
more.
3. Construction of infrastructure like roads that have positive effect on the neighboring communities and where other
business enterprise may be encouraged to establish their presence nearby to cater the needs of the of the community –
Build a more stable roads and infrastructure to build more lines to connect other businesses to each other for the
community’s economy to flourish more
4. The impact of the sales of firm of its outputs to other firms as intermediate inputs and as capital goods. These
repeated transactions of constant sales contribute to the strengthening of the integration of the economy. – Strategize
more to implement promotional plans to improves sales thus continuous integration and enhancement of the economy
5. Exporting its products to earn foreign exchange but these earnings contribute to the accumulation of the country’s
foreign reserves. – Create a more attractive offers and advertisement of our local goods to improve exports thus
enhancing our country’s foreign reserves
BUSINESS’NEGATIVE IMPACT AND HOW TO MINIMIZE IT
1. Technology used in processing the raw materials can be energy intensive that emits smoke, and produce air and
water pollutants. – Use technology that has no smoke, and has less pollutants like electrical-based machineries.
2. The extraction of mineral deposits, can lead to noise and water pollution as well as soil erosion to the detriment of
the neighboring communities. The disposal of wastes of these huge extractive operations can threaten ecological
balance as chemicals mixed with water at warmer temperatures are disposed in rivers, bays, and seas. – Extraction of
mineral deposits shall be done moderately and has an extensive cleanup to avoid pollutions.
3. Usage of plastic bags and polystyrene or Styrofoam in wrapping consumer goods can have adverse effects on the
environment. – Use alternatives such as paper or any biodegradable wrappers or packaging.
4. The intense advertising campaigns made by fast food companies can alter the consumption habits of the young that
can have undesirable effects on their future health. – Just like cigarettes, government should mandate that people
should consume fast food in moderation.
5. The sale of additional cars can further aggravate the traffic congestion in the cities. Jeepney drivers providing
transport service daily to millions of Filipino commuters expose an equal number of people to air pollution. –
Government should promote electrical-based transportation little by little to reduce pollution until it decreases to a
more manageable level.
