I would say in instances of financial distress the company has an obligation to move production to a place that has lower labor costs in order to save money. This scenario can be played out in a couple of ways, the company in distress could sit back and not do anything and watch the entire workforce that they have lose their jobs or they can lay-off production employees in order to cut back on costs and keep a few non-production jobs. These scenarios are really a double edged sword.

However, if the company makes the ultimate decision to outsource production, the company does have a corporate social responsibility to the country and people of the country they are sourcing production to. The company should do what they can to reduce their carbon footprint in that country, work to ensure employees have access to clean water and the proper medical care, pay the employee in a fair manner, and teach the employee valuable/transferable skills. If the company chooses to outsource production, they also have a responsibility to the employees in the firm’s home country. The company should be open, honest, and forth-coming with their plans to outsource, even if that means having hard conversations about letting employees go. The employer should also allow and offer assistance to employees who choose to seek out new employment.
