Unfortunately, this mindset has created a lucrative and dangerous market in which people are willing to put their personal health at risk in order to obtain what they believe to be a key to a better life. Proctor & Gamble's ethical

Millions of people throughout the world, especially those in third world countries, do not have access to clean drinking water. Throughout the world, there are many countries that do not have the means to provide safe drinking water to their entire population.

So by incorporating sustainability plans or even creating a separate branch dedicated to doing so, the company’s reputation often is increased, which over the long term, will contribute to accentuate customer loyalty, market share, and brand value and awareness. (Wilson, 2003) This case study done on Johnson & Johnson published by the IMA Educational Case Journal analyzes the impact that implementations of these sustainability
