007 Ethics in Technology 3/3: Ethics in technology supply chains – Is it possible to be ‘good’ in the modern world?

DDK Pod Episode 6 – This week we come to the final part of our three-part series on Ethics in the IT industry and discuss the ethics of technology supply chains. We all need to consume technology products these days. We simply have no choice if we want to stay relevant, but does that mean you have to hold your nose and ditch your ethics? Can you truly make a decision which is ‘good’ given the length of modern supply chains and the lack of transparency around where the materials which go into the products we buy come from? Is there any way to ensure that you make an ethical purchase? Also covered is our pick of the IT industry news and a few recommendations for our listeners. (A quick note on the timing of these episodes: Normally I try to get an completed fortnightly but given I have just had a new baby I am struggling to keep up with the recording, editing and production process. Normal service, with an episode every two weeks will resume shortly. – Julian)
