商品敘述：

Paula Santos, the chief sustainability officer at Danish furnishings company Vestenborg Home, must decide how to respond when an audit of Greenspan, a long-trusted Vietnamese supplier, discovers several violations of labor and safety standards. Greenspan''s foam cores are critical to the imminent launch of Vestenborg''s sustainable EcoLuxe mattress. Paula travels to Vietnam and meets with the supplier''s new leader, Nguyen Van Minh. He acknowledges the violations-underage workers with falsified documents, overtime above Vestenborg''s limit, and a blocked emergency exit-but claims they were due to temporary circumstances, such as wanting to help orphans find a home and dealing with increased pressure during the EcoLuxe ramp-up. Paula wants to believe Minh, but she''s troubled that he substituted his own judgment for Vestenborg''s nonnegotiable standards. Back at headquarters, the Vestenborg executive team weighs the conflicting priorities of maintaining supply continuity and protecting against reputational and ethical risk. As Paula knows, suspending Greenspan until it can guarantee compliance would likely delay the EcoLuxe launch; continuing production, even under stricter oversight, could preserve the launch timing but invite accusations of hypocrisy. For teaching purposes, this is the case-only version of the HBR case study. The commentary-only version is reprint R2604Z. The complete case study and commentary is reprint R2604L.
