Introduction
I have chosen to do this project on Steers because while I was researching franchises in South Africa Steers particularly stood out to me. I was drawn to wanting to find out their background story as well as I wanted to learn more about their CSR commitments because I had never heard about them before. I wanted to gain a further understanding of why they chose to support such CSR initiatives and I can confidently state that my knowledge has defiantly grown after researching all that I could about Steers.
I have collected all my data by using Google to find websites with the information that I’m looking for based on Steers. All my understanding on CSR comes from learning it in class and from my business studies notes on CSR.

Inside CVS Health, there are many stakeholders that come into play and are effected by the new change. The employees, customers and clients, suppliers and venders, investors, and local communities, are the stakeholders that are involved with and are close to CVS Health. CVS Health believes that staying close and involving their stakeholders to their CSR strategy, will help them be successful. Having employees that help contribute to the purpose that CVS Health stands for, helps the consumers get on a path to better health, and also contributes to the local communities outside of work. I am going to select ‘employees’ as the stakeholder for this analysis.
I will be comparing the corporate social responsibility (CSR) of Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. Social responsibility means that a company invests in communities, protects the environment, pays their taxes, provides equal treatment, provides adequate health care, etc. CSR is an act of maturity, where companies feel obligated to give back to those who assisted them in their success. A company needs both the employees and customers to be satisfied. Hence, companies feel obligated to give back to their community; a practice of appreciation and sympathy. I will begin with talking about the background of each company, followed by the employees, investors, customers, and environment.

Clever advertising campaigns throughout the years have also shaped Wendy’s into who they are today. The ads helped to support growth in their early years, while also boosting sales. The first Wendy’s ad aired locally in 1972, and was named “C’mon to Wendy’s.” The ad stressed their “Quality is our Recipe” slogan and featured Wendy dancing with hamburgers. In 1977, Wendy’s first national television commercial made them the first in the restaurant business to have a national ad with less than one thousand stores. Known as the "Hot 'n Juicy" campaign, the ad aired for three years and won a Clio Award for creativity, which would set the bar for future Wendy’s ad campaigns. The ad attacked other burger restaurants, suggesting that their burgers were “dry and chewy,” while proclaiming their burgers to be “Hot ‘n Juicy,” and would show customers wiping the grease from their mouths after taking a bite.

One of the most dominating concepts of business reporting is Corporate Social Responsibility. It has become mandatory for every business to include a policy with regards to CSR and produce a detailed report with regards to its activities. CSR can be defined as the relationship between a corporate company and the society in which the company operates. The concept of CSR became famous during the late 1960’s and since then it has helped corporations to sustain itself in the market.

is a public company that does not mean the franchises are necessarily a public company. Steers encourages and highly recommends owner-operated franchisors. An owner-operated company is a company that is run by a day to day owner. This can become tricky when one franchisee owns many franchises resulting in owners hiring managers and other business leaders to help run day to day management. In an interview with Chana Boucher, previous Managing Executive, Val Bourdos, said: “Steers insist that its franchises are owner operated, but at the same time it is possible for multiple-store owners to employ managers. The success rate of a franchise is higher if the owner is involved in the business. They don’t perform as well if this is not the case.”
