In 2017, astronomer Robert Weryk, working in Hawaii, detected a strange object travelling through our Solar
System. It was given the name ‘Oumuamua, from the Hawaiian for ‘scout’, after observations confirmed that it was
of extrasolar origin. This bizarre, cigar-shaped object was unlike anything that had been seen before and its temporary
visit to the Solar System sparked a fierce debate about its origins that continues to this day.

Since ‘Oumuamua was only passing through our Solar System briefly, scientists had to act quickly to gather
as much data as possible. They employed a variety of telescopes and other instruments to study the object’s size,
shape, composition and trajectory, but only limited information could be gathered before ‘Oumuamua reached an
unfavourable distance for observation. In 2019, 2I/Borisov – the second known interstellar object – was discovered.
It is a rogue comet initially spotted by an amateur astronomer. Astronomers now think such interstellar objects pass
through our Solar System on a regular basis.

Navigating the complex landscape of ethical issues in business is crucial for maintaining integrity and trust
within any organisation. Today, companies are increasingly held accountable not only for their financial performance
but also for their ethical standards.
This growing focus has made understanding ethical issues in business vital for both emerging and established
enterprises.
Ethical concerns range from how companies manage internal policies to how they interact with the broader

Reflecting on ethical issues in business is more than an exercise in legal compliance ; it is a core part of building
a sustainable and successful business. Companies that commit to ethical operations are better positioned to attract
