  • Ebay: from Green to Gold
    CASE: M-329 DRAFT DATE: 07/15/2010 EBAY: FROM GREEN TO GOLD US consumers are truly “sleeping giants” in terms of the ability to affect change through purchase behavior. ---Robert Chatwani, Director Global Citizenship, eBay Inc. INTRODUCTION When the devastating earthquake hit Haiti in January 2010, eBay‘s response was fast and powerful. The eBay foundation provided $100,000, as well as matching gifts for employees‘ donations, to support the relief efforts of The American Red Cross, Save the Children and Oxfam. While most companies can provide support through a corporate foundation, due to its large community, eBay‘s reach is unmatched. It mobilized this community by enabling buyers to make a contribution at checkout (Give@Checkout), and waived the processing fees for these donations. Celebrity giving on the site included Scarlett Johannson‘s offer of tickets to the opening night of her Broadway play and Stephen Colbert‘s offer of the interview table from ―The Colbert Report‖. Through PayPal, users could also make gifts directly to nonprofit organizations involved in the relief efforts; eBay waived processing fees for these gifts for a 30 day period. Finally, sellers could commit to donating a percentage of their listings‘ final sale price (Donate Now) to the nonprofits of their choice. By January 21, 2010, the eBay community had raised over $835,000 through the Give@Checkout and Donate Now features on the site. These actions showed the power of eBay‘s consumers and their power to make purchasing choices based on issues that were most important to them. Enabling users to donate to the causes they cared about was important and valuable but it would not be the extent of eBay‘s global citizenship.

  • Meg Whitman to Step Down As President and CEO of Ebay
    January 23, 2008 Meg Whitman to Step Down as President and CEO of eBay John Donahoe Will Become President and CEO on March 31 San Jose, Calif., January 23, 2008 – eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY; www.ebay.com) announced today that Meg Whitman will step down as President and CEO of eBay on March 31, 2008. Whitman will remain on the company's Board of Directors. Whitman joined eBay in March 1998. At the time, eBay was a U.S.-only, auction-based trading site with 500,000 registered users, just 30 employees, and $4.7 million in revenue. Today, the company has hundreds of millions of users worldwide, more than 15,000 employees and nearly $7.7 billion in revenue. Whitman led eBay to become one of the fastest-growing companies in history. Over the last 10 years, she has built an unforgettable portfolio of brands and a thriving business that enables millions of people to trade, pay and communicate online. "Meg's passion for all things eBay changed the world," said Pierre Omidyar, Founder of eBay and Chairman of the Board. "With humor, smarts and unflappable determination, Meg took a small, barely known online auction site and helped it become an integral part of our lives. We're all enormously grateful that Meg dedicated herself to stewarding eBay through its 10 most formative years." eBay's Board of Directors voted unanimously to elect John Donahoe President and CEO. Donahoe came to eBay in February 2005 from Bain & Company, where he had served as worldwide managing director since 1999. For nearly three years, Donahoe has been President of eBay Marketplaces, which accounts for more than 70 percent of the company's global revenues.

Palo Alto subsidized public transit (KCBS Radio) Here's where the VTA, BART staffs collided head-on over San Jose's subway (Silicon Valley Business Journal) The staffs of the two transportation agencies involved in San Jose’s planned downtown subway came together in public for the first time Friday over the issue of what kind of tunnel should be built. It was a head-on collision at the VTA board's BART extension workshop. The question now is whether the Valley Transportation Authority and BART can resolve their differences over the single-bore/twin-bore issue within what already was a tight timeline for federal approval and not delay the project. "I was disappointed," said VTA board chair Jeannie Bruins of Los Altos. "Having worked in high tech, I have to say that when you have major projects, it's hard to move past talking at each other and moving to talking with each other. I'm hoping that having had the forum today, we're all motivated to start working with one another a little more closely." Members of both transit agencies staffs traveled jointly to Barcelona, Spain, in July to see the world's only operational single-bore subway line.

  • Starbucks Coffee When the Term Coffee Chain Enters Th
    Rachel Carlson Elmore History 400-002 04/15/15 Business History Project: Starbucks Coffee When the term coffee chain enters the average person’s mind today, the image that usually coincides is a globally recognized green logo featuring a longhaired mermaid. She can be found on each paper or plastic Starbucks cup and sign hanging outside of one of their 21,366 worldwide locations.1 In the last forty years, Starbucks Coffee has emerged as a café superpower, and is now the largest coffee company in the world, as well as the fifth largest fast-food corporation.2 They started out just as any other business in America, at the bottom of the corporate food chain. But now with yearly revenues in the billions, Starbucks has seen tremendous success as they rapidly expand across the globe, one frappuccino at a time. Gordon Bowker, Jerry Baldwin, and Zev Siegal, who met while students at the University of San Francisco, founded Starbucks Coffee at the Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington, in 1971. They were inspired by Alfred Peet, who was successfully managing Peet’s Coffee in the Bay Area, California. Initially, Starbucks stores exclusively sold roasted coffee beans by the package. It wasn’t until current Starbucks CEO and Chairman Howard Schultz purchased the company that it turned into the local coffee shop that we know and love today, serving a variety of drinks and pastries.

  • NIKE Inc on Diversity & Inclusion Proposal
    Page 1 of 5 June 15, 2021 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Response to No Action Letter of NIKE Inc on Diversity & Inclusion Proposal Ladies and Gentlemen, Wynnette LaBosse Tr (S) (the “Proponent”) is beneficial owner of common stock of NIKE Inc (the “Company”) and has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company. I am responding, on behalf of Proponent, to the letter dated May 14, 2021 ("Company Letter"), from Ann M. Miller contending that the Proposal may be excluded from the Company’s 2021 proxy statement. The Proposal requests that the Company annually publish a report, at reasonable expense and excluding proprietary information, which assesses the outcome of the Company's diversity and inclusion efforts. The proposal suggests that the report include the Board’s process for assessing the effectiveness of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and the Board’s conclusions regarding program effectiveness, as reflected in goals, metrics, and trends related to the Company’s promotion, recruitment, and retention of protected classes of employees. (emphasis added). The Company argues that the Proposal may be excluded from the 2021 Proxy Materials as substantially implemented pursuant to Rule 14a-8(i)(10). In order for the Company to meet its burden of proving substantial implementation pursuant to Rule 14a-8(i)(10), it must show that its activities meet the guidelines and essential purpose of the Proposal. The Staff has noted that a determination that a company has substantially implemented a proposal depends upon whether a company’s particular policies, practices, and procedures compare favorably with the guidelines of the proposal.
