Leela Valley Leather Report post Posted January 24, 2013 This (for me) applies to a few companies, one electronics company makes the majority of their income from ICs (integrated circuits) that are designed for landmines, I avoid any products with components made by them. In a similar vein, companies they try to impose the belief's of their owner/CEO/MD etc. on their employees. This has occurred once here (in Australia) where the company expected all employees to work national public holidays because the owner did not share the majority religion. And I see it recently happened in the United States, with a well known hobby supply chain. So the question is, are your purchasing habits influenced by the ethics and behaviour of a company?

Tina Report post Posted January 24, 2013 Absolutly, I can not give companies my business if I know they don't comply with good ethics. I can't say I go out looking for it but then again, I will not forget what's in the news about their ethics either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
