Scenario One Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a new concept that has been integrated into the operations models of many organizations. It is an ethical mandate that requires a corporation to establish initiatives that reflect on specific social and environmental wellbeing. All efforts are supposed to go beyond any provided regulation. Wholesome Hamburger Company’s ethical challenge is related to its failure to observe tenets of corporate social responsibility, especially that of sustaining the environment. The drought situation is a significant issue that has potential to affect the operations of the establishment.

Food production establishments are expected to uphold the highest quality and health standards. It is more of a requirement than a request that is usually mandated by authority bodies.
