This is an excerpt from the paper...
The Legatus organization is composed of senior executives (CEOs, presidents or managing partners) of various companies, all of whom are Catholic and all of whom week to apply the moral teachings of the Catholic Church to their businesses. The members of Legatus find that the capitalist environment is not mutually exclusive with a Christian environment.In theory, the group is not contradicting the philosophy of the marketing concept, which is not concerned with how business is conducted, but the efficient conducting of that business.

Since that currently has appeal to consumers, it can be expected to bring in additional revenue, thus offsetting the costs associated with making the switch. Critics also are likely to have a hidden agenda. Once they have been successful at bringing one set of change, they realize that the company is willing to make change based on their demands. This can lead to a growing pressure from environmentalists on L'eggs to change other features of their packaging, and perhaps even the nature of the nylons themselves.
