Unit 37- P1 Report
In this report I will be talking about how my chosen organisation, which is Primark, uses ethical issues to consider in its every day operational activities. Primark may not have some ethical issues that I will be discussing about in this report, but I will talk in detail about how they could use them, issues in their business. I will be explaining how Primark’s way of selling affects ethical issues and will be discussing about the things they need to be aware of whilst selling their clothes.
The Environment:
Primark were doing very well whilst taking the environment into serious consideration whilst selling their clothes however, a very disturbing accident occurred in one of their supplying factory. This was a disturbing issue which saw 1,100 people get killed when Rana Plaza collapsed in Bangladesh on the 24th of April 2013. This caused a lot of pollution, workers lost their jobs and houses were destroyed, this called a lot of people to protest against Primark because they had ruined the fact that they were called one of the best companies in the world who would consider the environment when selling their clothes. What did they do to improve? They focused developing on a new programme with new life foundation which is the UK’s biggest disability charity specialising in support to aid children with all kinds of disabilities. They do this by recycling all their unwanted clothes and merchandise, all the profit from this is then used in support of the new life foundation. By recycling their unwanted clothes Primark can help the environment by decreasing Landfill and they could also reuse valuable resources. They also encourage every single customer of theirs to recycle their unwanted clothing and any other plastic resources (such as hangers) too. They are involved in a charity which will give them customer loyalty from some people. In my opinion I think that Primark have done a very good job after the collapse of their building and they are
