Burt's Bees Social Responsibility

Its most popular seller, the lip balm, is made from bee’s wax and other ingredients that are found in nature, rather than harsh chemicals.

The recycled content shows responsibility to the environment because they are not creating more waste, but rather creating something from waste that already existed. In fact, Burt’s Bees has a company profile that states all their efforts to be a socially responsible company.

Google currently has programs in China in order to help its children become self-empowered and aware of social issues. It has also donated over 7 million dollars to different towns in China that were recently hit by a massive earthquake. They also provided free advertising in order to raise money for earthquake relief from people all over the world. The company also provides grants to different charities or causes that are in need of money. So far, it has given grants to help fight HIV, teach children in poverty how to read, and to support children with life threatening illnesses using art, music, and athletics programs.

The idea that Google is a caring company that gives back to the community resonates in most people’s minds because of all the donations they’ve contributed to different issues. Whenever
