One retail brand that I believe is ethically responsible is Starbucks.
After doing a little research I have found that they run their business in such a way that it incorporates great sustainability practices with its coffee bean farmers. They encompass the idea of quality, economic transparency and social responsibility and economic leadership.
The company has been accused of not acting in a sociably responsible manner a few times. one of which was in 2018 when they were accused of being racially biased which led to the brief closure of over 8,000 stores nationwide. Essentially what happened was their training was to close stores for a few hours nationwide to address a racial bias solution. All it really did was waste time according to some of its employees.
I feel this company is green for both the environment and profit. I can see this in their attempts to eliminate plastics and other things in their stores to make a more green footprint. I also see how they are in the business for making money. This is very evident by the sheer prices of their drinks. It is a very “upscale” coffee shop.
