Company's that make a difference

Seventh Generation:

"We believe with each new product we make, we must also build new ways of caring for ourselves, and the world around us. We can use the power of business to start a movement that will change an entire industry."

Starbucks:

To say Starbucks purchases and roasts high-quality whole bean coffees is very true. That’s the essence of what we do – but it hardly tells the whole story..

Our coffeehouses have become a beacon for coffee lovers everywhere. Why do they insist on Starbucks? Because they know they can count on genuine service, an inviting atmosphere and a superb cup of expertly roasted and richly brewed coffee every time.

Toms:

In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in a village in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS^®, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One.^™

Realizing this movement could serve other basic needs, TOMS^® Eye wear was launched. With every pair purchased, TOMS^® will help give sight to a person in need. One for One.^™

"I was so overwhelmed by the spirit of the South American people, especially those who had so little, and I was instantly struck with the desire — the responsibility — to do more."

—Blake Mycoskie

Company Research

  There was a scandal in 1994, about Phillip Morris cigarettes. A woman died because of smoking their cigarettes, even though the founder of the cigarette company declared that nicotine was not addictive in any way. After this big scandal, the day the charges against this company were dropped, the quickly changed their name to Altria. Although they were hoping for a way out of their bad reputation, people just saw it as a desperate way to escape criticism from people about their bad rep.

Vocab. Term

The vocabulary term supply and demand means something to me because when I go shopping, There is a supply of items for me to chose from, and when there is not enough items left of something I want, then there is a lack of supply and high demand.
