Description
Samantha Taylor, Sylvain Charlebois, Tammy Crowell, and Bryce Cross present a case study published in 2023, though the catalog lists 2024, on the ethics of large grocers in Canada. Food prices had risen sharply, and grocers stood accused of using inflation to pad profits. Shoppers grew doubtful as costs climbed and firms stayed vague.
The team read data from shoppers, watchdog groups, and industry sources to trace how public views shifted in 2022. They used a paradox frame for corporate sustainability, extended with a historical view. The study asks what the public now demands from grocers in openness and fair conduct.
