Obtaining export license and completing other formalities: For exporting goods from India, exporters are required to obtain export license, Import Export Code Number, registration membership certificate, RBI code number and registering with ECGC.

Question 32.
‘Profit earning is not the only objective of the business’? Give any four reasons to justify the statement.
OR
Why is there a need to control environment pollution? Give some measures that a business can take to protect environment. [6]
Answer:
The sole aim of earning profit has the following effects on a business:

Ignores the interest of workers: Labour is one of the most important factors of production. Profit maximisation bypasses the interest of workers in the way that they do not get fair remuneration and hence are not motivated. In the absence of motivation, they will not work up to their full potential. Resultantly, quality and standards of the products and services will deteriorate and will ultimately lead to losses.

Ignores the interest of customers: Customers are very important for every business in the sense that without their existence, even thinking about business is merely a dream. Profit maximisation bypasses their interest because goods/services are overpriced which ultimately leads to reduction in the number of customers, reduction in quantity of sales and thereby reduction in profits.

Ignores the interest of society: Profit maximisation overlooks the interest of the society in which it works. It may propel a businessman to indulge in unfair trade practices like hoarding, black marketing etc.

Ignores long-term interest of the business itself: Profit maximisation may be the objective for the short term, but in the long term it may lead the business to a dangerous position where it could become very difficult for the business to even survive.

OR

The environment is the sum total of all the surroundings, both natural and man-made. The quality of the environment is fast deteriorating because of the business activities. The smoke, effluents and other wastes released from the industries pollute the environment and hence affect the health of the people. Therefore, it is essential that we should protect our environment.

Preventive role: It concentrates on preventing pollution from different activities.
This includes:
(a) Use of CNG vehicles.
(b) Recycling of industrial waste.
(c) Scientific treatment of emission before their release.
(d) Installation of pollution-resistant machinery.

(a) Promoting afforestation.
(b) Assisting government agencies and other NGOs in cleaning polluted rivers and management of harmful substances.
