Corporate Social Responsibility Presentation

Corporate Social Responsibility Presentation

Scenario

You work for a U.S. based company that leaves a large carbon footprint because it relies heavily on paper, ink cartridges, and plastic. While there seem to be some legal requirements for sustainable activities, they are not in effect yet and the company does not want to adopt any changes in their own processes until they are. “Why do more than we have to,” said the CEO at a recent meeting. Still, they would like to do something that shows the community where they reside that they are aware of their actions, and are trying to make some changes for the better – it would also be a nice PR move. Your task is to present recommendations to the CEO in a way that persuades him to have the company take on social responsibility in a meaningful way.

Instructions

Create a PowerPoint presentation to be given to the CEO that includes slides that evaluate the given corporate social responsibility (CSR) impacts on the business activities. Address the following:

DIFFERENTIATE AREAS OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR) AS THEY RELATE TO BUSINESS CULTURE, PUBLIC POLICY, ETHICS, MARKETING, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS.

What are the consequences of using CSR as a “PR move” (be sure to consider social, economic and environmental consequences)?

Describe the U.S. national and international trends in CSR, as well as their benefits.

WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD YOU OFFER THE CEO IN THIS SITUATION?
