1566 Words7 Pages

Loblaw Companies Limited uses various social media platforms to effectively create an identity that is socially responsible and respectful, and to set the company apart from competitors such as Walmart. Through the analysis of Loblaw’s twitter page, Third Annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report, and the homepage of loblaw.ca, I will explore how Loblaw includes ethos, pathos, and logos in each of their portrayals of the company.
Loblaw’s twitter features a tweet showcasing that their President’s Choice Children’s Charity has just committed $150 million to childhood hunger and nutrition on September 21st, 2017. Included in the tweet is a link to an article detailing this news and a picture of the owner of Loblaw Companies Limited, Galen …show more content…

Loblaw appeals to all audiences by showing that the company cares about their customers and wants to provide ethical business. Weston also reports that “we [Loblaw] is making good progress while upholding our core values and embedding a firm commitment to corporate social responsibility” and that their “goal is to meet the needs of today while preparing to address the social impacts facing Canada in the future” (“Third Annual Report”). Weston’s use of “we” and “our” establishes Loblaw as a community and that he is merely one position within the company, which creates a connection with the audience and shows the emotional attachment to both consumers and the company itself. The website and homepage for Loblaw also establishes and betters their reputation as a considerate company. The home page includes several transitioning pictures with headings written across each such as, About Us, Responsibility, Investors, Media, and Careers. Underneath the slideshow there is a brief explanation of Loblaw as a company, an explanation of their loyalty programs, as well as links to their recent news, and their social media

The company’s website that I chose to analyze, in lieu of their mission statement, is Safeway Inc. A little background: This company was essentially founded in 1915 by M.B. Skaggs, who bought a grocery store from his father. By 1926, Skaggs had become very successful with his stores and merged with Safeway to become Safeway, Inc. In January 2015, AB Acquisition LLC (parent company of Albertson’s) merged with Safeway to create one of the largest food and drug retailers in the country – over 2,200 stores in 33 states, specifically with Safeway stores in 19 states (Safeway Inc., 2008-2016).

“Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction” (Frank). Companies attempt to take advantage of individuals by presenting convincing images and text, so consumers do not have to do their research. The first part of the rhetorical triangle is pathos, which permits consumers to reflect on their personal lives and emotions. Additionally, companies pass on vital statistics about the product through logos. However, the accurate statistics often lie in the fine print, and the consumers usually discern only the fascinating facts.

“As Canada modernized, consumerism played in an important role and segmentation,” (Belisle, 11), meaning that buying the best products would make one look wealthier. More products were being sold which meant companies were making a mass amount of profit during this time in period. Finally, in order to attract those customers, industries and companies used several forms of media to spread the word about their products. “Consumption has been, in Victoria de Grazia’s words, obsessively gendered female. ”,(Moore, 3).

In this article, written by Darden professor, Luann Lynch, Volkswagen’s determination to position its diesel products in a U.S. market, where only five percent of market was diesel, was too alluring for a company whose lofty goal, under then CEO Martin Winterkorn, was to be the world’s largest seller of automobiles. The U.S. market was viewed as neglected, making it an excellent market for growth for Volkswagen. Volkswagen’s strategy was to position their product in the market as a solution promoting environmental sustainability, then utilize a sense-of-mission-marketing to aid the company in defining their product in social terms, rather than in product terms, to appeal to their target markets (Armstrong & Kotler, 2017). Volkswagen could have been well on its way to dominate the world car market if it was not for the corporate culture Winkerton and his predecessor, Ferdinand Piech, fostered, which was a culture of control, micromanagement, and fear. Lynch describes the environment as containing three factors: pressure, opportunity, and rationalization, which can lead some individuals into unethical behavior (Lynch & Santos, VW Emissions and the 3 Factors That Drive Ethical Breakdown, 2016).

The organization I work for, Starbucks is highly diversified. In my opinion, Starbucks successfully employs each of the seven diversity components: “authentic leadership commitment, clear organizational communication, inclusive recruitment practices, long-term retention strategies, incorporating diversity into main work of the organization, diversity management metrics, and expansive external relationships” (Cañas, Sondak 2014). With that being said, Starbucks could improve by incorporating diversity into main work of the organization. One way Starbucks proves their commitment to diversity is authentic by holding a diverse board of directors. Of the seven board members, three are women and one of these women is of an African descent.

BWB core values include six guiding principles: (1) high-value experience for customers, (2) valuing talent and respecting each individual, (3) doing what is right (4) fostering innovation, (5) spreading literacy (6) positively impacting the world. BWB does not state its vision explicitly. Their closest approach to vision is being ‘a self-sustaining, triple-bottom-line company that creates social, economic, and environmental value for all our stakeholders’. However, this statement is largely a reflection of what BWB already is and lacks aspiration for the future.
