  • Environmental and Social Responsibility Rhetoric of Nike and Reebok Nancy Landrum
    Environmental and social responsibility rhetoric of Nike and Reebok Nancy Landrum. Tamara : Journal of Critical Postmodern Organization Science. Las Cruces: 2001. Vol. 1, Iss. 2; pg. 48, 15 pgs Abstract (Article Summary) Using the play "Tamara" as a metaphor, Landrum shows how the sharing of stories helps construct an image of what is happening in the athletic apparel industry. The rhetoric of Nike and Reebok from their letters to shareholders is reviewed. Full Text (5371 words) Copyright TamaraLand Publishers 2001 [Headnote] ABSTRACT [Headnote] Using the play Tamara as a metaphor, this paper shows how the sharing of stories helps construct an image of what is happening in the athletic apparel industry. We review the rhetoric of Nike and Reebok from their letters to shareholders found in their annual reports to discern their strategy and the image they are projecting. Nike primarily uses Denial as their rhetorical stance regarding environmental and social responsibility while Reebok primarily uses Flagship Implementation as their rhetorical stance. These findings lend support to research showing a negative correlation between corporate social responsibility and profitability. Introduction We are witness to the metamorphosis of late capitalism, the interpenetration of postindustrialism with postmodern culture. Spectators (consumers and investors) are given only narrative fragments to construct worker and ecological stories from the vantage points of entry authored by corporate public relations. Corporate authorial-power becomes hegemonic as narrative plots script actions and perception in ways unseen or taken for granted. Consumers in the first world cannot see the ecological or work conditions because these locations are kept as strategic "secrets." All one ever hears are stories directly authored by corporate interests acting as gatekeeper, authoring ventriloquist stories on behalf of workers and ecology.

  • Environmental Protection in the Information Age
    ARTICLES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN THE INFORMATION AGE DANIEL C. ESTy* Information gaps and uncertaintieslie at the heart of many persistentpollution and natural resource management problems. This article develops a taxonomy of these gaps and argues that the emerging technologies of the Information Age will create new gap-filling options and thus expand the range of environmental protection strategies. Remote sensing technologies, modern telecommunications systems, the Internet, and computers all promise to make it much easier to identify harms, track pollution flows and resource consumption, and measure the resulting impacts. These developments will make possible a new structure of institutionalresponses to environmental problems including a more robust market in environmental prop- erty rights, expanded use of economic incentives and market-based regulatorystrat- egies, improved command-and-control regulation, and redefined social norms of environmental stewardship. Likewise, the degree to which policies are designed to promote information generation will determine whether and how quickly new insti- tutional approaches emerge. While some potential downsides to Information Age environmental protection remain, the promise of a more refined, individually tai- lored, and precise approach to pollution control and natural resourcemanagement looks to be significant.

    WHITE PAPER Fashion & Environment AN OVERVIEW OF FASHION’S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACTION Contents 01 ABSTRACT PAGE 4 Impacts and opportunities. 02 FOREWORD PAGE 6 From BFC and DHL 03 INTRODUCTION PAGE 10 The rise of the global fashion industry. 04 THE GLOBAL AGENDA PAGE 15 The Sustainable Development Goals. 05 SIGNALS OF CHANGE PAGE 19 Exploring pathways to sustainability. 06 WHAT NEXT? PAGE 37 Recommendations for the industry. 07 APPENDIX PAGE 52 Additional context and references. 3 Abstract The global fashion industry has a far-reaching impact on the natural environment, from the extraction of raw materials to the production, distribution, wear and disposal of clothes. As the world’s population increases to a projected 8.5 billion people by 2030, annual global apparel consumption could rise by 63%, from 62 million tonnes today to 102 million tonnes—equivalent to more than 500 billion additional T-shirts1. The current fashion system is unsustainable, our biggest risk is to carry on as we currently operate. There is scientific consensus that we are in times of climate and ecological emergency as set out in the UN commissioned Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5° and Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. For the fashion industry to have a response commensurate with global environmental challenges, it will require a systems level change and development of a new fashion system based in a sustainability paradigm. Bringing about this change is complex given the global nature of the industry and its many different parts. However, a transformation of the fashion industry, addressing its environmental impacts, has been signalled and these approaches and innovations need to be scaled outwards and upwards.

  • I.A. Social Reporting
    FOCUS PAPER Publication in memory of Ron Speed inSocial focus Reporting Traditionally, stakeholders evaluated companies primarily on their products or services. Now, they want to know how a company treats its employees, if it is environmentally responsible and if its business practices are ethical. They are demanding greater levels of transparency and accountability on every aspect of company operations. In response, companies around the globe have begun to issue “social reports.” Social reporting measures and assesses the impact of a company’s environmental, social and economic performance. While its form varies widely, one thing is clear: social reporting is rapidly becoming a competitive necessity and a key component of any company’s corporate citizenship initiatives.

  • Exploring Supplier Sustainability Audit Standards: Potential for and Barriers to Standardization
    sustainability Article Exploring Supplier Sustainability Audit Standards: Potential for and Barriers to Standardization Iain J. Fraser 1,* , Julia Schwarzkopf 2 and Martin Müller 1 1 Institute of Sustainable Corporate Management, Ulm University, 89081 Ulm, Germany; [email protected] 2 Chair of Sustainability Management, HTW Berlin Business School, 10318 Berlin, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 10 September 2020; Accepted: 2 October 2020; Published: 6 October 2020 Abstract: Global focal companies are increasingly required and expected to monitor the sustainability risks and activities in their supply chains, which has resulted in increasing supplier sustainability audit activity and growth in the number of sustainability initiatives/associations. While common, shared audit standards were originally conceived to reduce audit fatigue; with overlapping and converging supply chains there could be a need for cross-recognition or standardisation of supplier audit standards. This research aims to provide empirically grounded insight into sustainability audit activity, audit processes and standards for suppliers and the extent to which they overlap. Audit standards employed by eight multi-brand, voluntary sustainability initiatives/associations, focusing on supply chain sustainability (SMETA, PSCI, ICTI, FWF, ASI, JAC, amforiBSCI and RBA) were inductively analysed. This research compares the audit processes and standards, detecting common audit categories, analysing points of overlap and difference. We find empirical evidence of significant growth in supplier sustainability audit activity. We also find overlap among the standards in terms of audit process and steps, as well as at the level of audit focus categories. Deeper analysis reveals large differences at the granular level in terms of questions asked to assess specific topics.
