Hasbro earns title of most ethical company in the world

[kup]

My company is named too and given all the people they have made redundant in order to outsource positions abroad, I am unsure of the criteria used for the listing..

I never put much stock in these sorts of listings as they are often fuelled by popularity or promotional advertising in some way.

Regarding Hasbro's pricing structure though. I have noticed in the podcasts I listen to that deluxe pricing in the US has gone up with prices approaching $15 now in some cases. while at the same time, if you shop carefully here you can deluxes for as little as $23 which while it's not equivalent it's much better than 5 years ago when a deluxe was $8 to $10 in the US and $28 - $30 here.
Keeping in mind the horendous import duties here and the scale differences in the two markets, it's not as bad as it could be. I think we have seen a change in the retail prices here, especially with the Deluxe toys. Whether that's a reflection of a change in Hasbro's wholesale prices or something else is anyone's guess.

Either way, I'd recommend against putting too much stock in a report by a company who's business is to create lists to be included in media to make it sell better so the advertising in the media is worth more.

They're ethical because the factories they're contracting production to technically aren't part of Hasbro.

I would be very interested in the methadology behind how these awards are made. I spend a lot of my working time on CSR & ethical sourcing & I am highly suspicious as to the qualifications of the candidates.
