As a group we believe that New Belgium Brewery (NBB) is a socially responsible corporation. Social responsibility is an ethical framework where corporations should embrace economical, cultural, social, and environmental issues ethically and susceptibly (imasocialentrepreneur.com, 2015). Firstly, as a corporation, NBB believes that the synchronization of what a “brand says,” and what a “company does” is the stepping-stone in achieving social responsibility (Ferrell, Fraedrich & Ferrell, pp.436). This mandate helps New Belgium Brewery emphasize that as a company, being able to integrate the company’s code of conducts and core values is what will make the company successful.
Modern day businesses have to be socially responsible; actions are taken to satisfy customers who might have a cause that they care deeply. Social responsibility occurs when a person or a company acts in an ethical and sensitive way towards important social issues of the day such as economic, environmental, and cultural concerns. Many businesses have a section of their website or business literature dedicated to social responsibility. Companies proudly detail the steps they are taking to address concerns that people have with the environment and economic issues. Having companies act in a socially responsible way is necessary because their actions have a tremendous positive impact on society.
The core values at New Belgium Brewery (NBB) create an ethical culture throughout the company. This culture can be seen in the operations that extend beyond the production of the carefully crafted brews. The company cares more about their environmental impact, their community involvement, and the employees inside than they do the profits that come from their top selling products. They care because consumers should feel their choices matter, especially regarding the companies behind the product they buy (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014, p359). Environmentally speaking, NBB has worked hard to keep 98.8% of their waste out of the landfill in 2013 (Waste, n.d.), up from the 94.38% in 2011 (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014, p356).

In their advertisement for “Delifresh Oven Roasted Turkey Breast”, Oscar Mayer suggests that their Oven Roasted Turkey Meat is not “complicated” or full of additives. By juxtaposing the turkey and the chair’s “ingredient” tables and the satirization of the chair, the creator places emphasis on the distortion of a product containing additives and the lack of additives in Oscar Mayer’s meat. The anaphora of “It’s” in their slogan creates the immediate association of quality to their packaged cold cuts, while aphorism is incorporated by making a statement that life is complicated, but “your sandwich doesn’t have to be”. Portmanteau supports Oscar Mayer’s ad by combining sane and sandwich to make “sanewich”, referring to the ease of making a sandwich
Second, it doesn’t spend a lot of time. Delicatessen can made within only 3-5 minutes. For instance, if I get up from the bed late and have personal businesses to do, then I can take just 3-5 minutes to prepare and make it finished after that it’s ready and I can have a good breakfast. Third, I think some of them are delicious and be more than fresh food. This is one thing that I like.

Dole Food Company, a Fortune 500 business based out of Westlake Village California, has a strong mission statement that claims to have high quality products, as well as leading the industry in educating consumers on nutrition. “Dole supports these goals with a corporate philosophy of adhering to the highest ethical conduct in all its business dealings, treatment of its employees, and social and environmental policies,” (dole.com, 2016). After an extensive look at the Dole website, and further research on Dole’s international business practices, it is evident that while their website backs their statement they are locked in conflict and controversy internationally. The website is bright, functional and easy to navigate.

In the recent years more and more companies in the retail and food industry are concerned about the environmental consequences of their action and also the social ethics for the people involved in the production process. This is a shift from the philanthropic actions companies used to take in 1970’s and by following basic international standards to a ‘business case’ perspective of CSR (Customer Social Responsibility). According to the World Business Council for Sustainability Develpoment ( WBCSD) CSR is: ‘’ the commitment of business to contribute to sustainable economic development, working with employees, theirfamilies, the local community and society at large to improve their quality of life’’ (World Bank, 2002)
Discussion Nestlé’s Corporate Social Responsibility consists of looking further then the own company needs or profits and pay more attention to other stakeholders. Everyone concerned or connected to the company business will get a closer look on their situation and will be treated right. They divide the stakeholders in two categories; the first being the internal stakeholders such as employees and shareholders. The second category is external stakeholders where we find the suppliers, customers, environment and so on.
1) Evaluate how Nestlé 's approach to corporate responsibility was good for their business. Corporate businesses generally have to meet ethical, legal, commercial and public expectations. That is what is expected of the business world today. This is known as the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). However, businesses with short-term goal will rarely practice CSR since practicing it does not bring any benefit.
