In order to maintain such high ranking in this popular industry, the competition amongst the leading companies and their strategic focus has to address several key planning tools in order to remain at the top and in this case, NBB’s most competitive advantage is its ability to remain socially responsible. (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014) Since 1991, the year New Belgium
In this paper, I am going to discuss and explain my opinions on why company Q is or is not socially responsible. Company Q recently closed a couple of stores in high crime areas. Company Q also started offering very limited health conscious and organic products. The local food bank has contacted Company Q requesting day old food for donations. Company Q has declined the donation request due to possible fraud by its employees and has started throwing the food away.

The Waste Diversion Act enforces Ontarians to recycle e-waste, while promoting the reuse of technological equipment. Along with the Waste Diversion Act, there are many agencies and organizations dispersed across Canada to aide citizens in the process of disposing computers properly. To ensure that proper recycling of computers is conducted; workers in the e-cycling industry scrap all heavy metals and reusable components while removing toxic materials that cannot be recycled. Most of the components that can be reused are shipped out to manufacturers that can make good use of them. Also, as components are being reused, there is less petroleum being refined to create the energy that is used in the process of making new computer components.
This is one way recycling is put to really good use, especially with what we can’t replenish. One way recycling

Third, food waste in the market, for example, in the farmer market, food will be tossed out if hasn’t been sold by Saturday night. Other than diverting edible food from landfills, we can sort all the garbage and try to recycle some
Both recycling and composting can decrease the use of resources, the amount of pollution in the atmosphere, and the amount of trash which would end up in landfills or the ocean. Recycling can save trees, landfill space, water, energy, oil, and greatly reduce pollution. The concepts of development and interdependence play large roles in the effectiveness of waste reduction. In global politics development is the sustained increase in the standard of living and well-being of a society. The more developed nations, societies, communities, or individuals will have access to more effective methods of waste removal, for example composting.
Imagine living in a world where the air is polluted and most people are afraid to step outside their front door, in the near future, this may be reality for Americans. Americans throw out over 200 million tons of garbage a year, yet recycle not nearly as much. Most people do not realize it but recycling is a vital part of America’s society and if Americans do not perform this action, it will backfire on them. People in America are debating whether Americans are recycling enough and correctly. After analyzing the data, one will definitely agree that Americans need to be more educated on recycling due to the fact that most people do not know what happens after they recycle an item, nearly all Americans are recycling incorrectly, and Am To begin,

Other options for organisations are by reducing waste in the workplace through reuse and recycling efforts that have a positive impact on the environment. Less office waste means less trash in landfills. Recycling paper, aluminium cans, ink cartridges and even office machinery and equipment can help reduce the global environmental impact of consumer consumption. Other options, such as composting, can reduce waste even further. Organisations may be able to generate extra revenue by selling aluminium or machinery as scrap
Ethical issue in Starbucks Starbucks, an American coffeehouse chain based in Seattle, Washington, is the world largest coffee retailer chain in the world having more than 21,000 stores in 65 countries (Starbucks website, n.d.). In United States, Starbucks owned 12,973 stores (Starbucks Company Statistics, 2014), which is more than 73% of the market shares of the United States coffeehouse industry.

Thus, demanding for transparency and accountability. Consequently, many customers have gone green and they are persistently advocating for sustainable and ethical activities of firms (Johansson, 2010; Pookulangara
Now we are talking about recycling. So, what actually does recycling means? Turning used materials that are labeled as recyclable over to your local waste facility designated in a disposal container as “recyclable” materials to be taken and reused as material for a new purpose defines recycling . In order to create a new and different product, a recyclable product is turned back into a raw form that can be used. Recycling efforts can significantly reduce additional waste that will not only harm the planet today , but future generations as well.
To confront to this problem, Unilever would encourage workers to work longer or recruit migrant workers (Maestas and Zissimopoulos, 2010). However, with the fact that people are more concern about healthy and safe products, Unilever has successfully maintained high social and environmental standards by designing and producing that meet consumers’s needs.
