In an era of fast growing and turbulent economic world, businesses keep being established and there is an increased need of ensuring that these businesses run smoothly. This entails even the involvement of the government. The government’s role in the business world has remained the same for a long time in the economic world, where the government has been seen to intervene in businesses in a number of ways. These include; granting permissions, enforcing contracts, consumer protection, employee protection, consumer protection, taxation and environmental protection among others. This paper will therefore, discuss which governmental agency regulates manufacturers and the ethics to be considered based on the provided case.

Additionally, the EPA has the authority to prohibit the manufacturing and distribution of harmful products that negatively affect the environment.
For instance, in this case before the paint was used, the effect on the marine life should have been identified and that environmental effect would not have been there. Also, the manufacturing and distribution of the paint could have been prohibited. The efforts put by government and government agencies require us as the individuals as well to come in and help in protecting the environment, however not all people do this.
