- How do you believe the company conducts business in a socially responsible way? Support your answer by discussing specific examples.
- Has the company ever been involved in any incidents in which they were accused of not conducting business in an ethical or socially responsible manner? If so, briefly discuss the legal issues related to the incident(s).
- Do you feel the company is “green” for profit or “green” for the environment?
