Ethics in the digital workplace
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
On 13 May 2012, manufacturer of coffee capsules Ethical Coffe Compagny has announced its plan to open a new production site in France that will employ between 200 and 300 people. The site will be operational in autumn.
The creation of the new plan is due to increased demand from the supermarket networks selling ECC's capsules under their own brands.
ECC currently employs 120 employees in its first plant in Ville-la-Grand.
