Which ethical approach best describes the committee's reasoning?
- Deontology – following a fixed moral duty regardless of outcomes
- Virtue ethics – acting as a person of good character would
- Utilitarianism – maximising overall benefit

You are an account manager at a logistics firm. You find your hub routinely marks missed deliveries 'customer not available', keeping the on-time rate above the client's contract level. Hub staff earn a bonus on that rate. The client's renewal review is next week, and the hub manager says every hub does it. What should you do?
- Correct the tracking data immediately, share the true delivery figures, and press to change the hub bonus.
- Terminate the hub manager immediately for data falsification before the client review meeting takes place.
- Start tracking the failure codes accurately from next month without correcting the numbers already sent to clients.
- Continue reporting the inflated numbers for now since the client review is too close to change data.
