In todays time, there are quite a few companies that practice Corporate Social Responsibility, including Campbell’s. Since the 21st century they have been practicing CSR (From Soup to … Corporate Social Responsibility: Campbell’s Efforts to Lead the Way, 2009). “We aspire to be leaders in corporate social responsibility and sustainability. It’s an effort that begins at the highest leadership levels of our own company.” (Campbell’s, 2015). To this day, Campbell’s continuously maintains positive relationships and goals with customers, stakeholders, and even employees (Campbell’s, 2015). Campbell initially came to be in around 1869 (From Soup to… Way, 2009).

The merger of global brewing giant InBev with Anheuser-Busch created an even more dominant global brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev. Since the merger in 2008 there were a variety of notable pros and cons I plan to share with you today. First and foremost, the merger of InBev with Anheuser-Busch created the world’s largest brewer with leading abilities to distribute all across the globe. In addition, this merger increased sales, stock prices skyrocketed, and earnings and profit margins rose steadily. Although the merger brought some great advantages to the table for Anheauser-Busch InBev, there were also a few recognizable cons. One of the most recognizable cons when evaluating the merger was the drastic changes in the corporate culture. “The corporate culture of the old A-B — tradition-bound, perfectionist, focused more on

The area of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a constantly evolving field with direct impact on an organizations strategies and success, and it has become an important part of how the beer making industry promotes and advertises itself. Current portrayals of corporate social responsibility in the beer making industry are misleading and do not show the true nature of these practices. Relatively little research has been conducted on how the beer making industry promotes corporate social responsibility in their attempt to

Current approaches to CSR are fragmented and/or disconnected from business goals. Many firms still consider CSR as another generic public relations problem in which media campaigns and CSR reports are used to paint the company as a positive ethical, social and or environmental advocator and supporter. For example, the annual reports discuss a firm’s sensitivities to CSR issues, but completely lack the entire story and offer no further forward commitments from the firm. Further, the ratings and rankings measurements are self-appointed by the firm, not always accurate to validate the work and direct impact to what they are measuring, and the criteria base varies widely and weighed differently in the final scoring. Worst of all the data lacks impartial auditors for validating the data to ensure the ratings have been accurately met, and data is statistically significant and a good proxy for what it is supposed to reflect. This has resulted in reactive initiatives designed to appease vocal

Anheuser Bush breweries are one of the most beloved iconic brands in the United States. The company was founded in 1852 and has a deep heritage in American culture (Anheuser Busch, 2012).

The model of Total Corporate Responsibility is an indicator of management quality. It aims to change the behavior of corporations and companies towards sustainability. Firstly, TCR is based on Interconnectedness, Actualization, and Posterity. Interconnectedness conveys that business is not an entity isolated in society but a key element participating in an interconnected system. Companies thus have to decrease their negative impacts on the environment in order to serve the society as a whole. The model of TCR can measure their degree of engagement towards society based on their internal and external activities. In his essay “Total Corporate Responsibility Achieving Sustainability and Real Prosperity”, Dixon specifies that internal metric categories consist of risk mitigation, product development, stakeholder relations and developing country impacts. In addition, he adds: “External metric categories include industrial ecology, government relations, and dialogue and action in support of system change.” (p. 6) Thus, firms are graded

Starbucks is an American multinational corporation that is arguably considered as the best coffee house in the globe in terms of global performance. The company has for a long time considered CSR as an important part of its operations and currently, it adopts an Anglo-American model of corporate social responsibility. This is an approach to CSR that maintains close links between shareholder interests with the operations of the organization. The company ensures that its CSR initiatives are appropriately audited so that it is able to learn of its CSR performance and not as an effort of complying with legal regulations and this is what makes the strategies adopted by the company very relevant. The corporate social responsibility codes that are derived from Starbucks’ Anglo American model have contributed to great product development by the company, efficient production and quality customer service. All these have been made possible through the company’s Corporate Governance Codes . At starbucks, the codes have provisions for the code of conduct which acts as guidelines as to how the employees at the organization behave. The code of conduct guides the entire organization including the board of

Corporate Governance is the set of relationships between a company’s shareholders, board, the executive management and other stakeholders. The conflict of interest between these parties has resulted in what is called the agency problem, which arises from the separation of ownership and control at a corporation. Good corporate governance practices attempt to resolve the agency problems by aligning the interests of managers and shareholders. The same corporate governance is not followed by all countries; it differs according to the culture, practices, legal, and history, economic and social environment. Each company follows its own procedure for governing on the lines of the model given by the country. Corporations today have laid down the policies of CG in their own manner as a result of which an important question is whether standard CG can be established and achieved at a global level. In each country, the corporate governance structure has certain characteristics or constituent elements, which distinguish it from structures in other countries. CG component factors can be classified into three groups those related to top management organization, the board as whole or shareholders, and stakeholders.
