such as Shell, DHL and Nike are placed on the hot seat by Greenpeace and other watchdog 
groups to explain how they deal with environmental impact management, ethical supply 
chain management, equitable treatment of employees, proactive addressing of consumer 
disgruntlement, and accurate assessment of shareholder sentiment.
