Ethic & Social Responsabilities

ethics is the idea of rigth and wrong conduct, while social responcibility is the business responsibility for society. im going to look into victoria secret ethics and social resposibilities
victoria secret not only creates clothes for women to feel sexy, but they are a social responcible company.
 
 victoria secret was known for printing millions of catalogues on paper made by clearcutting Canada's boreal forests. they are deciding to change that and go green. Victoria’s Secret mails over one million catalogs per day, catalogs that are printed entirely on Forest Stewardship council certified paper. By using this paper they show ethical and thoughtful environmental behavior. At the same time they set an example for other companies to follow their lead. They have the  FSC logo, which allows consumers to recognize companies that support the growth of responsible forest management worldwide. 
 
althought they are going green, it was found out that victoria secret had  their “fair trade” organic cotton was harvested by child slaves in its lingerie line. There have been reports that children have been beaten, forced to work long hours, and have not been given any food. little girls and boys around 13 are forced to work under such conditions. well i personally was shoked about this, i mean this is soppose to be a female empowerment company, yet this is what we hear. well guess they dont seem that ethical know...
