TechStyle Co. is a fashion retailer known for its trendy clothing and accessories. Recently, the business has been facing increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact and improve its ethical sourcing practices. The management team is considering two options:

Option 2: Investing in sustainable materials and ethical labor practices, which would increase production costs but align with the growing consumer demand for sustainable and ethical products.
b. Discuss a potential conflict of interest between two of the stakeholder groups identified in part a, arising from the two options being considered by TechStyle Co.
