  1. Alright. I've chosen to do my project with ethics violations
  2. about um Kylie Jenner's company and um fashion line.
  3. Um And this one I put Carly's cosmetics um But
  4. in this I'll be going over a couple of other
  5. things. Okay, so I wanted to go over a brief
  6. history Trying to give you an idea.
  7. Um in 2015 November 2015, car released her lip kits
  8. that go on sale.
  9. Um After that she comes out with the sky shadow
  10. palettes Which are eyeshadow palettes are also released and after
  11. 18 months in business she is on track to hit
  12. $1 billion 2022 which is actually coming up here in
  13. the next year.
  14. Um so this is a little brief overview.
  15. Um she is really really popular at age 18.
  16. She comes out with her own company and it becomes
  17. really, really successful.
  18. So you know what we're talking about now is the
  19. unethical business practices.
  20. So, some of the things that I looked over and
  21. found out was that online.
  22. Indeed, review says that the factory that she ran, which
  23. is called um spats laboratories, that she had gotten a
  24. bunch of reviews saying that when they worked there it
  25. was really dirty, it was kind of hot and they
  26. get paid minimum wage and they also just overall this
  27. didn't really like their job and there was a lot
  28. of beef that happened between a lot of the, I'm
  29. quote unquote alpha females that work there and there wasn't
  30. really much of an opportunity to move up.
  31. So I looked at more information um you know about
  32. this and I learned that global brands group is the
  33. group that works with the Kardashians.
  34. There are uh this global grand group actually owns and
  35. controls most of Kylie Jenner and the generous factory.
  36. So this is why I mentioned the cosmetics and their
  37. fashion line, Kylie and Kendall fashion line.
  38. They have a lot of factories in Bangladesh and in
  39. Bangladesh. The workers there are basically worked for very, very,
  40. very low rates.
  41. Um they don't have, they don't have um excuse me,
  42. they don't have very many, they don't have a lot
  43. of money in that country and a lot of them
  44. working and making the products.
  45. There are a lot of women that have been working
  46. for years And like I said, they make very minimum
  47. wage and as I also learned, actually learned that um
  48. when the COVID-19 actually happened that there was an order
  49. that was canceled and the worker just that work for
  50. these businesses, you know for global brands group weren't getting
  51. paid for the unemployment during the pandemic.
  52. So they also lost a lot of money and you
  53. know, Kylie didn't try and fix this, needed any Kardashian's
  54. try and fix this, you know, they kind of just
  55. cut their ends and just said, oh well business stopped
  56. and they didn't want to do anything about the people
  57. making them.
  58. Also wanted to also mention to about these, the, some
  59. of the workers in the laboratory said that the chemical
  60. smells gave the employees headaches, so that was also one
  61. of the unethical things that were happening.
  62. So I'm going to go into who was affected.
  63. Um workers for Carly's brand were majorly affected.
  64. Um you know, they may not be able to deal
  65. with this.
  66. You know, um holes have been affected as college reputation
  67. could potentially be affected and the customers also can be
  68. affected by these choices as well.
  69. Um The way that they are affected I want to
  70. go into is a short term and long term effects.
  71. So the way that the workers were affected was some
  72. of these workers may never really financially recover from not
  73. receiving earnings for such a long time.
  74. So, you know, they may never be able to have
  75. days off because they have to constantly go back and
  76. work just to make up the money that they should
  77. have made.
  78. But they weren't.
  79. Um there could be long term health effects from workers
  80. that were the Mac in the makeup factories for such
  81. a long time.
  82. You know, just if they're getting headaches by being around
  83. the products that they were creating, um they can definitely
  84. have some long term health effects that they may not
  85. know about.
  86. And also another long term effect collagen could be boycotted
  87. if more customers found out of these kind of unethical
  88. practice, that unethical practices that she was she is doing
  89. and continues to do.
  90. But what this being said, this concludes my presentation.
