Should companies disclose the ratio of CEO pay to average worker? As CEO pay has increased in recent decades, companies have faced growing public and legislative pressure to disclose the pay rates of CEOs compared to their median workers, such as the CEO of US fast food chain Chipotle who earns 1,129 times a median worker in that company. Are companies ethically obliged to disclose data on relative pay within their organisations? Your answer should begin by explaining at least one ethics theory that might favour companies disclosing social and environmental data to stakeholders and one ethics theory that might be opposed to such disclosure, including analysing the main arguments for each theory. Then apply these perspectives to assess what obligations, if any, companies have to disclose pay to the public according to each perspective and why. Finally, critically analyse which perspective or perspectives is most convincing and why, including considering alternative strategies that might be used to ensure organisations pay workers fairly. Your answer must incorporate and reference ideas from at least two peer-reviewed academic journal articles from either the course readings or your own research.
