FAIRantwortung
German to English
Marketing
Business/Commerce (general)
Ein Geschäftspartner von mir startet gerade die Initiative FAIRantwortung, die angesichts des weltweiten und unhaltbaren Mißbrauch der Natur und der Lebens- und Arbeitsbedingungen vieler Menschen für ein Umdenken in Unternehmen wirbt. Unternehmen sollen Verantwortung für ALLE am Produktionsprozes Beteiligte übernehmen, für Menschen, Fauna & Flora.
Als Name ist der deutschen Gruppe dafür FAIRantwortung eingefallen. Die Initiative soll aber global aufgestellt werden. Fällt Euch ein besserer Begriff oder eine neue Wortkonstruktion ein, die Gleiches global (also Englisch) zum Ausdruck bringt? Mir ist bisher nur folgendes eingefallen:
ResponseAbility - the ability to respond to abuse is a responsibility which should be shared around the globe…

Planet Fairness
I have 3 ideas centered around "planet".
1. "Planet Fairness" is inspired by the budget gym chain "Planet Fitness".
2. "There's no planet B" . A well-established environmental slogan
3. Protecting the planet - a fair way to heaven (Inspired by Led Zeppelin and golf)

I forgot to acknowledge Fairway Market for # 3
Here's another one I just thought of - a bit longer, though:
"Let this be a global warning" or "Heed the global warning."

How about Planet Hollywood.? Do you think, they'd send a letter, too?

Comment: "Playing around with Michael's ideas some more, I came up with PLANitFAIR or FAIRPLAyNET, which a clever graphic artist might be able to turn into a memorable logo. However, the company decided to stick with the German "FAIRantwortung" since the foundation's headquarters will be based in Germany and the group feels strongly that they will be able carry the idea and the German play on words over into the global market.
Thank you all for your interesting submissions!"

FairWorld / Fair4Everone
just an idea
but I do like ResponsAbility as was first suggested as most of our suggestions do not bring over the sense of responsibility inherent in FairAntwortung.
What about Fair4Everyone?

It knocks Fairworld out of the running.
fair4everyone is a Tweeter in Japan
I'm reasonably certain that Planet Fairness was in a sci-fi novel I read aeons ago.
There's already an Equal Earth Foundation.
One World - bother with Michael Jackson's executors.
Preferred Share Planet - my fave - are the organisers stockbrokers?
Earthcare - a planned space mission
Globalcare - dozens of 'em
Global ethics - Carnegie council organisation
EthicalWorld - still looking, nothing yet, grab it while it's hot:-)
How about World of Ethics - makes a wonderful acronym for the situation our planet is in- :-)
I assume "Give the planet back to mother nature" or "Planetary Protection Initiative" (sounds like part of the US Secret Service) would be too much of a mouthful.
