As a result of the violation, Volkswagen was fined $15 billion, and their share price had dropped below 20% after they were exposed. In the wake of the scandal, more than 50% of VW customers stated that they were reluctant to buy cars from Volkswagen for quite some time.

Dove
“Every woman’s version of beauty is different and, if you ask us, these differences are there to be celebrated. That’s what real beauty is all about – the unique things that set us apart from each other and make us one of a kind. We’ve championed this version of beauty for the past 60 years, and celebrated diverse women in our groundbreaking real beauty campaigns. But we wanted to bring this to life through our products, too. That’s why we’ve created a limited edition range of Dove Body Washes, designed as a reminder that beauty is diverse and diversity is beautiful”
