Business & Finance CSR – Corporate Social Responsibility Assignment

 

Corporate Social Performance is the configuration of a company’s Principles of Social Responsibility, Processes of Corporate Social Responsiveness and Outcomes of Social Action. In order to evaluate the social performance of an organization we need to understand the organization’s principles and values (what it believes in, and what guides its actions), and “how they do things“, or the processes used to produce its products/services.

For this assignment, pick two companies that your group admires – one small sized (less than 30 employees) and one large company (more than 500 employees).

Then, do some research on each of these two companies and find out:

1. Corporate social responsibility-related values and beliefs of each company (which are part of the company’s Culture)
2. Corporate responsible ways used by each of them that guide “how” they do things. For example, how do they procure their inputs, how they treat their employees, how they support the communities, etc.

Then write up your findings and conclusions comparing the two companies. Organize your writing using the following table (about 1,000 words).
