Economics & Ethical Business
We at the Rainbow Power
Company are employed in an industry with a
primary objective of turning the tide away
from environmental destruction and towards
environmental harmony.
We frequently hear businesses claim that they
hold environmental concerns above all else,
but often this attitude is taken in order to
increase sales and is only a public relations
facade. |

Company performs a number of functions based
on social ethics and environmental sustainability.
Our aims and objectives include the following:
- To manufacture, wholesale, retail and demonstrate
by example all manner of devices powered
