Question:
- How does Firestone's response to the Ebola crisis differ from its response to Liberia's civil wars?
- How much of Firestone's actions were influenced by financial considerations and how much from social responsibility?
- Did Firestone have any options but to leave and then make an agreement with Charles Taylor to return?
- Firestone estimates that between concession agreements and tax payments it has put in >$1 billion into the Liberian economy since the civil wars. At what point in time or at what dollar figure should a company cease to provide reparations for past wrongs?
- Would Liberia be worse off today had Firestone left at the beginning of the first civil war and not returned?
- It is said that consumers vote with their dollars. If knowledge on social impacts is limited, is this still the case?
- Does Firestone have a social debt to Liberia? Are these projects an indicator of Firestone's long-term investment, from both a financial and social perspective? Do you think this information should be incorporated into Firestone's Corporate Social Responsibility approach?
