Linking the Public Benefit to the Corporation: Blockchain as a Solution for Certification in an Age of "Do-Good" Business ABSTRACT As part of its now-infamous emissions scandal, Volkswagen spent tens of millions of dollars on advertising geared toward environmentally conscious consumers. The scandal is an example of "greenwashing," which, along with the corresponding term "fairwashing," represents the information asymmetry present in product markets that involve claims of social and environmental responsibility in companies' production practices. As consumers and investors demand responsible production practices from both traditional corporations and entities organized under the newer corporateform known as public benefit corporations(PBCs), it becomes even more important to verify that those entities' supply chains are, in fact, meeting standards for the social or environmental responsibility that they purport or strive to have.

  • Lessons from the Volkswagen Diesel Emissions Scandal∗
    Willingness to Pay for Brand Reputation: Lessons from the Volkswagen Diesel Emissions Scandal∗ Xiaogang Chey Hajime Katayamaz Peter Leex December 3, 2019 Abstract In this study, we use the announcement of the Volkswagen emissions scandal on September 18, 2015, as an exogenous shock to measure consumers’ willing- ness to pay (WTP) for brand reputation. Only Volkswagen diesel cars produced in 2009-2015 were announced as emissions violators. Using eBay car auction data, we estimate the impacts of the scandal on the prices of Volkswagen emissions non- violating cars. Our difference-in-differences estimates show that final bid prices decreased by 14% and 9% in diesel and gasoline car markets, respectively, which purely reflected a decline in consumers’ WTP for Volkswagen’s brand reputation. Additionally, the difference in price-drops between the violating and non-violating diesel cars is statistically insignificant. This may be due to the fact that consumers rationally adjust their WTP by expecting compensation which will almost surely be provided by Volkswagen for violating models. Keywords: Volkswagen emissions scandal, willingness to pay, brand reputation.

Müller’s task was to draw the German multinational automotive manufacturing company out of the abyss of one of the worst reputation crises it had faced since its inception in 1937. The matter came to the fore when the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) slapped a legal notice on VW for violation of the Clean Air Act.3 The EPA accused VW of manipulating nitrogen oxide emissions tests to ensure its EA 189 diesel engines, built during fiscal years 2009–2015, met EPA standards.

  • Volkswagen Emissions Scandal: the Perils of Installing Illegal Software
    R M B www.irmbrjournal.com March 2017 R International Review of Management and Business Research Vol. 6 Issue.1 I Volkswagen Emissions Scandal: The Perils of Installing Illegal Software PETER STANWICK Auburn University, Department of Management Email: [email protected] SARAH STANWICK Auburn University, School of Accountancy Abstract This paper presents a case study related to the negative impacts of Volkswagen installing illegal software in its automobiles in order to manipulate the emissions level of its diesel vehicles. The case addresses reasons why Volkswagen decided in install the illegal software and highlights the negative consequences of its actions. These negative consequences include significant financial and reputational costs to Volkswagen. Key Words: Volkswagen; Emission Levels, Environmental Standards, Corporate Reputation. Introduction In a stunning announcement on September 18, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accused Volkswagen of illegally installing software in its diesel cars that manipulated the amount of emissions occurring during testing of the levels of emission. The EPA alleged that Volkswagen used the software to turn on the full emissions control systems for the vehicle only when the vehicle was being tested for emissions. During any other time the vehicle was operating, the full emissions control system was turned off. The software would turn on the control systems when the car was running in a stationary position since that would be the condition when the car was being tested for emissions. The EPA estimated that when the full emissions control system had been turned off, the vehicle could release up to 40 times as much of the pollutant nitrogen oxide than is allowed under the Clean Air Act.

  • Chapter 1 Background of the Project
    CHAPTER 1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT CHAPTER 1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT 1.1 Background of the Project While supporting countries organized by 24 leading developed nations in the world made the decision that the former Yugoslavia would be a subject country for assistance in July, 1990, they decided to suspend economic cooperation in November, 1991 in view of the subsequent developments in Yugoslavia. Japan also suspended its aid except for that through international organizations and grassroots grant aid cooperation provided from a humanitarian viewpoint. The present Project forms part of the components of the grant aid cooperation totaling US$ 50 million which Japan pledged at the international donor conference to assist Yugoslavia held in June, 2000. Although the Public Transport Company “Belgrade” (hereinafter referred to as GSP Belgrade), the implementation body for the Project, did not suffer any direct damage due to the bombing campaign of the NATO in 1999, it is finding the procurement of new buses, spare parts and repair equipment, etc. extremely difficult because of its financial difficulties caused by the economic sanctions since 1992. Major public transportation systems of Belgrade consist of buses, street cars and trolley buses. Although, because bus transportation runs 87% of total operating length of public transportation systems, it holds 75 % of numbers of the passengers transportation, and, more over, it’s service network covers whole area of the city, it is positioned as the only public transportation in Belgrade. The number of operable buses has decreased by more than 50%, from 913 in 1991 to 417 in 2001. Moreover, the buses currently in service are experiencing considerable deterioration, making public transportation in Belgrade near breaking point.
