A court in Paris re-evaluated the ethical and legal responsibilities of the French cement company Lafarge by examining its agreement with the terrorist organization ISIS while operating in Syria's war zone. The court decision stated that Lafarge allowed the passage of vehicles bearing ISIS flags and transported goods under this agreement.
Moreover, according to statements of former employees, while employees in Europe were evacuated to safe zones, Syrian workers were forced to work under the threat of bombing and sniper fire. This situation was considered a serious breach of responsibility that endangered the lives of employees. The decision sets an important precedent in terms of emphasizing the ethical conduct and employee safety responsibilities of companies operating in war zones.
