I'm trying to find a company to write about that has had to respond to ethical issues. Preferably one that has been around for while, and has had to change its practices as a result of ethical issues becoming more prevalent in society. I want to compare a company that has had to repsond to changes, rather than a newer company that has been ethical from the start, if that makes sense. Also preferably a well-known company. Are there any examples of any big companies being slated for poor ethical standards e.g. pollution, energy consumption, waste disposal etc?
Thanks for the ideas Oneeyedvic - very helpful. Marks and Spencer appeals to me actually. Just found that in 2005 they were in the worst three unethical clothes shops. Am trying to dig up any dirt on them that I can talk about.
