Subject: Monthly update

Dear all,
I would like to inform you that our monthly update meeting will take place later
this week on the 2 July. We will met in room 247 at 10:00 in the morning and
the event will last two hours. I would like to remind you that the punctuality is
extremely important since I have other things to finish and the lack of
punctuality have drawled my attention in the past meetings.
You should update us about all your projects as requested in every monthly
update as well as provide your latest sales figures.
Furthermore, I regret to inform you that Mike Collins (our regional manager in
Dublin) has left the company and we will discuss which work might be affected
by his lack.
I would be most grateful if you bring questions and comments to the meeting
that we can discuss and possibly confirm with a short answer your attendance
to the appointment.
I look forward to seeing you and have a nice week until then.

Best wishes,

Nicolás Quesada

How have companies ́ attitudes to accountability changed in recent years?
(min; of 135 words)

Companies have noticed the importance of having a clean accountancy in their

own business due to the increasing moral and ethical responsibility in the
society. The humanity is more aware than ever before of the ecological,
accounting, and other aspects of a business that have to be morally right.

Prior to the actual time, companies were not exposed the same way, since the
question of being moral or ethical has evolved in the last decades and is now in
the so called “show us” model where humanity is not only involved,
additionally is seeing annual reports for example, or having the amount of CO2
exposure of companies.

That is why the attitude of companies have changed regarding accountability.

They have noticed the changing mentality of the consumer and need to act in
demand of them.

The consumer now is wary, and companies are trying to act distinctive to
another to be the most moral or ethical one to be the most successful at the
end of the day.

One example for that is Adidas, which was gaining popularity for the low cost
production in emerging economies and then dropped the shoe with done with
cans and plastic bottles so they became famous for being ecological aware and
work against ocean pollution and plastic.

Task Four

Who did you choose to promote Logistaid ́s educational programme and

what were your reasons for doing so? (Minimum of 135 words are
expected)

For the educational programme of Logistaid I choosed the world famous soccer
player Cristiano Ronaldo.

4
In my opinion he has reached everything having the less and is potentially the
best example that discipline, and hard work are the gateway to success.

Furthermore, he has done several projects for underprivileged civilization in

Africa and does not have tattoos being distinctive in his sport by that just to
donate blood regularly.

This drives to a highly ethic appearance in the public what would convince the
people at Logistaid to donate and participate in the project, given the fact they
would trust Ronaldo and his participation at this event/programme.

Lastly, the large fan amount and the wide range of Cristiano (one of the most
popular personalities in the world) would also draw the attention of more
public in the world about this project.
