Despite the apology, Gulliver stressed that the information was stolen and that the media has focused on many account holders because they are well known, not because they have done anything wrong.
100,000 clients, HSBC's Swiss wealth bank had about 30,000 accounts at its peak, Gulliver said.
Since 2012 the bank has implemented rules of closing Brazil Email List accounts when it believes customers have not complied with tax laws, he said. HSBC's Swiss wealth banking business has reduced its customer base by 65% since 2007.It seems like every month there is a new campaign in which an NGO (often Greenpeace ) demands that a large corporation change its unaccountable policies. Many of these have global reach, appear on social networks and traditional media and end up achieving some official response from companies, which are committed to solving the problem.
But how much do companies that are the target of this type of pressure really change? Here we analyze five cases:
Lego:
LEGO Greenpeace
With Save the Arctic! campaign , Greenpeace pressured Lego to stop distributing its toys at Shell gas stations . According to the CSO's argument, the oil company was "invading children's playrooms to improve its public image while threatening the Arctic with an oil spill." The protests were successful , but it cannot be said that the Arctic is safe just because the alliance between Lego and Shell has ended.
Nike:
Nike-SL
Now Nike is a leader in sustainability and CSR , but just a few decades ago the company was synonymous with low wages and worker abuse. In the nineties, multiple organizations accused her of allowing mistreatment of those who manufactured her products in third world countries. In 1996, Time magazine did an investigation about this, which it titled "Six Cents an Hour," and included a photo of a child sewing a branded ball. In 1998, the CEO accepted that this situation had to change and little by little Nike implemented policies to remedy working conditions in its value chain.
Of course, the apparel industry still has a lot to do on these issues, but Nike's commitment has transformed the debate about who is responsible for these abuses and how it can be improved.
