| Abstract: | In 1974-1988, executives of DuPont, the world's largest producer of CFCs, were confronted with emerging evidence that CFCs were destroying the stratospheric ozone layer. The paper looks at the role of DuPont executives in this drama, and the difficulties facing any executive dealing with uncertain science. Then it is evaluated how this and analogous problems could be dealed with in the field of business ethics. |
