Working with your Zip-6 Scenario: Ethics and Decision Making
Zip-6, like other beverage companies, uses cola nuts that are sourced from buyers or distributors who purchase these from local small farmers in lesser developed countries. Recently, Ravi received a letter from a human rights group alleging that some of these local "buyers" were unfairly compensating the small growers for their crops and urging Zip-6 to only purchase "Fairtrade" certified ingredients for use in their products to ensure that these small growers receive a fair price for their crops.
Some Zip-6 managers have pointed out that Fairtrade cola nuts are somewhat more expensive although they represent only a small component of the product cost. Ravi is considering this carefully since Zip-6 has long-established relationships with some of these buyers.
