Chiquita has tried hard to be good—and got no credit for it.
奇基塔一直努力作為一個(gè)好企業(yè)，但一直得不到信任。
SOMETIMES you bend over backwards to please, but still get nowhere. That is what appears to have happened to Chiquita Brands, an American firm which is one of the world's biggest suppliers of bananas and other fruit. Despite accommodating eco-warriors, social activists and unions, it has found little reward.
有時(shí)你使出渾身解數(shù)來取悅對(duì)方，但仍毫無結(jié)果。這就像是在奇基塔身上發(fā)生的一樣，美國(guó)奇基塔公司是世界上一個(gè)大的香蕉及其他水果供應(yīng)商。盡管幫助于生態(tài)保護(hù)斗士，社會(huì)積極分子及其組織，但是奇基塔公司沒得到什么好處。
After a campaign by a green group called ForestEthics, Chiquita agree d in November to avoid fuel from Canadian tar sands. Extracting this oil is a dirty process. Environmentalists have worked furiously to block a pipeline, called Keystone XL, which would carry it from Canada to America. Chiquita told ForestEthics that it does not use such fuel in its ships and agreed to avoid its use in lorries.
環(huán)保組織"森林倫理"(ForestEthics)發(fā)起環(huán)保運(yùn)動(dòng)后，奇基塔公司11月承諾不再?gòu)募幽么蠼褂蜕爸刑崛∪加?。提取這種燃油是一個(gè)污染環(huán)境的過程。環(huán)保人士竭力阻止加拿大通往美國(guó)的Keystone XL輸油管道的修建。奇基塔公司告訴環(huán)保組織"森林倫理"(ForestEthics)，在其船運(yùn)中他們不再使用這種燃油，同時(shí)也避免將這種燃油使用于陸運(yùn)。
This may have pleased environmentalists, but it infuriated Canadians who depend on the oil industry. A pro-business lobby called EthicalOil.org is urging a boycott of Chiquita's products that is said to be costing the company a fortune. Chiquita would not quantify its losses.
這樣的舉動(dòng)或許能討好環(huán)保人士，但是激怒了依賴于這種燃油產(chǎn)業(yè)的加拿大人。一個(gè)稱為EthicalOil.org的商業(yè)主義游說團(tuán)體呼吁抵制奇基塔公司的產(chǎn)品，據(jù)稱這將損失公司一大筆錢。奇基塔公司不會(huì)量化其損失。
Chiquita traces its origins to the late 1890s and the United Fruit Company, which treated some of the Central American countries it operated in as banana republics. In recent years, however, the firm has made huge efforts to promote social responsibility and sustainability, working with activist groups such as the Rainforest Alliance. "We can do good and do well at the same time," Fernando Aguirre, the firm's chief executive, wrote in the company's latest social responsibility report, issued in 2008.
追溯奇基塔公司的起源可到19世紀(jì)90年代末，當(dāng)時(shí)還是聯(lián)合果品公司，把操控著一些的中美洲國(guó)家戲稱為"香蕉共和國(guó)"。然而，近幾年，該公司同像雨林聯(lián)盟這樣的激進(jìn)分子組織在促進(jìn)社會(huì)責(zé)任和提升可持續(xù)發(fā)展能力上作出了巨大的努力。該公司總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官費(fèi)爾南多.阿格里在公司最新社會(huì)責(zé)任報(bào)告中寫到，"我們能做好事同時(shí)也能做好"，該報(bào)告發(fā)行于2008年。
Chiquita has signed and largely upheld a global agreement with local and international food unions. It has embraced sustainable farming techniques and allows products to be certified for environmental and other standards. Last year it promised to promote more women and to ensure there is no sexual harassment on the plantations it owns and buys from. But that has not provided protection from big retailers buying bananas direct from plantations and bypassing Chiquita and its main rivals, Dole and Fresh Del Monte Produce.
奇基塔同當(dāng)?shù)睾蛧?guó)際食品組織已簽署了并很大程度上支持的一份全球協(xié)議。該協(xié)議囊括了可持續(xù)農(nóng)業(yè)技術(shù)，給予產(chǎn)品環(huán)保認(rèn)證以及其他標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。去年，該公司承諾將提升更多的女性同時(shí)確保在其擁有和購(gòu)買的種植園內(nèi)不存在性騷擾。但是，對(duì)于那些避開奇基塔和其主要競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手的杜爾和德爾蒙食品公司直接在種植園從大零售商那里購(gòu)買香蕉并不能夠提供相應(yīng)的保障。
Many firms in conflict zones face extortion. In 2003 Chiquita became the only American company voluntarily to admit to the Department of Justice that it had paid protection money to Colombian paramilitary forces surrounding its plantations. Now it is facing a raft of American and Colombian lawsuits.
沖突地區(qū)的許多公司都面臨著勒索敲詐。2003年，奇基塔就是美國(guó)唯一家公司主動(dòng)承認(rèn)他們向駐扎在種植園附近的哥倫比亞軍事部隊(duì)交過保護(hù)費(fèi)?，F(xiàn)在正面臨著一系列美國(guó)和哥倫比亞的訴訟。
Chiquita's conspicuous lack of reward is beginning to worry some veteran campaigners. Neither Dole nor Del Monte has been interested in following Chiquita in signing a global union agreement, says Ron Oswald, head of IUF, the international foodworkers' union."It's not sustainable for any company in a competitive sector to make progress and gain no recognition for it," he grumbles.
奇基塔顯著的不討好開始有點(diǎn)讓一些資深活動(dòng)家感到擔(dān)心。國(guó)際食品勞聯(lián)首領(lǐng)羅恩?奧斯瓦德講到，在奇基塔同全球聯(lián)盟簽訂一份協(xié)議后杜爾和德爾蒙食品公司對(duì)此都不會(huì)感興趣。并抱怨到這對(duì)于在一個(gè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈的行業(yè)中取得發(fā)展和得到認(rèn)可都是不可持續(xù)的。
