THE CASE
Read the story about the boycott to Nestle products proposed by Greenpeace. Information is available in a lot of websites (e.g. http://digitaljournal.com/article/289481) Read how Nestle reacted (e.g. http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/news/features/Sweet-success-for-KitKat-campaign/ )
THE QUESTIONS
Should a firm (Nestle) be responsible for their suppliers activities? Should a firm change its objectives and operations just because a NGO decides so? Why? Do you think that the answer given by Nestle to the problem was socially responsible? Find an example of a firm with good CSR practices and a firm without CSR principles . Make a link between the Nestle case and the advert commented on this blog: (http://www.bestrejected.com/html/? page=tv&type=banned&id= 111) Is that Social Responsiveness or Social Responsibility?. Give your opinion about banning this advert. Is it an act of censorship or is it closer to irresponsible advertising?
