A profitdriven multinational corporation and an upstart group of environmentalists surprise the world and forge an astonishingly successful partnershipLarge and wealthy global companies too often fail to acknowledge environmental responsibility or workers rights. This book tells the dramatic story of one companyChiquita Brands Internationalthat decided to change the negative paradigm. Formerly the notorious United Fruit Company, a paternalistic organization that gave the name Banana Republic to tropical countries in Central America, Chiquita defied all expectations in the mid1990s by forming an innovative pact with the Rainforest Alliance that transformed not only the corporation itself but also an important segment of the banana industry.Gary Taylor and Patricia Scharlin reveal the inside story of how corporate executives, banana workers, local leaders, and conservation advocates learned to work together and trust one another. Over the objections of skeptical critics, Chiquita and the Rainforest Alliance established a Better Banana seal of approval to certify genuine efforts to improve soil and water quality, ensure rainforest conservation, and enhance worker health and safety. This chronicle of their collaboration, told objectively and with extensive documentation, presents a promising new model of cooperative behaviora model that shows how multinational companies can become motivated to solve critical global problems.
