They were in great vogue 20 years ago. Initially, as they percolated into the business world, many people, especially the companies themselves, took the production of them very seriously. They were supposed to be a clear statement of company objectives not only for the company itself to focus around to deliver its objectives, but for the consumer to have faith in the integrity of the company. Then a few people started to notice that in fact these companies were simply guilty of bandwagonism. This probably started when everyone started touting their green credentials. When oil companies jumped on this particular bandwagon, the cat was out of the bag.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2d731b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d2d731b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Every company wanted to appear \u201cperfect\u201d and getting better every day in every way.
