What measures can an engineer take to prevent corruption and unethical practice of cutting corners in order to safeguard the good image of the engineering profession? Question 2

Question 4
You are assigned by your employer to prospect an area for an extractable material. However, in the course of your work, you discover no such object material but some other valuable material which your employer is not interested. On the other hand, the information which you have is of great importance to another company. As an engineer can you release the particular information which you have to the other party so that the other valuable material may be explored?
Question 5
You are an engineer and it is known that your project activities/plant production had caused an adverse health, safety and/or environmental (HSE) impact. To improve the HSE quality, you have to cease your project activities/plant production for a period of time, resulting in the inability to meet the required schedule and targets.
How would you handle in a situation where there is a conflict between the ethics and professionalism conduct and commercial consideration?
