In a stunning admission of corporate kickbacks, Baskin Robbins director of Global Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility Carolyn Kravetz pleaded guilty to multiple charges of profiting illegally from steering contracts to her mates. Contracts paid for BY THE FRANCHISEES!"CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY"? WHAT A JOKE!
The guilty plea was for crimes that included receiving kickbacks from a vendor of advertising materials to Baskin Robbins. It's unclear if the sacking of the Australian Baskin Robbins marketing director is related to this investigation and guilty plea.
Clearly a culture of corporate dishonesty exists at Baskin Robbins and the parent Dunkin' Brands. When do the franchisees get some of their ad fund money back from this out-of-control company?
