...HEB possess many corporate social responsibilities (CSR) and I believe that the way HEB executes their responsibilities can benefit and improve the Houston Food Bank (HFB). “The meaning of the CSR is to recognize that business firms have not one but many different kinds of responsibilities, including economic and legal responsibilities. Corporations have an economic responsibility to produce goods and services also to provide jobs and good wages to the work force while earning a profit (The Business Cornerstone). “The concept of corporate social responsibility is often expressed as the voluntary assumption of responsibilities that go beyond the purely economic and legal responsibilities of the firm (Scilly).” First, I will discuss the economic values of HEB. The economic part focuses on whether not the company can earn a profit before being a good corporate citizen. HEB focuses on producing the freshest produce and putting their customers first by listening to their customers and helping fulfill their any and every need within their capability. They also focus on maintaining low prices in a competitive market. “Two notable factors spring out: the first is being privately held, the second is its unique position as the only retailer of its scale and size to operate exclusively in one state and across the border in Mexico. Its familial tie to its Texan communities bolsters its sustainability goals and provides a competitive edge (Slott).” HEB thrives on diversity, supports their...

...CSR REPORT I-Chiao Lin Intro to Marketing Strategy 09/14/14 The writers of the book The Responsible Company, Yvon Chouinard and Vincent Stanley, state in the start of their book that there is no single company that is responsible, but they all just choose to take different procedures towards being responsible to all of their stakeholders. The book guides employees and businesses to ensure they learn their social and environmental shortcomings and act on them in order to be more responsible. One question one asks themselves when reading this book is: What is the responsibility of the companies? Normally companies will invest highly on maximizing their stakeholders. They will direct all their attention on their direct stakeholders and unfortunately focus less on their indirect stakeholders who matter as much too. We are given a perfect example in the book of Patagonia. It poses a challenge to the companies to take ultimate accountability for their deeds in relations to each and every one of their stakeholders. Among the customers’ checklist, one of them is being progressively open about the social and environmental impact of what you make. The company should be transparent to ensure customer satisfaction and business success. They have to ensure its consumers trust them, and they will earn this only through transparency. One other item on the customers’ checklist is to make things that help the commons. The company should ensure their...

...The organization I chose was Wal-Mart. Their marketing philosophy is sales and market oriented. For example Wal-Mart defines its goods and services as a great value and is guaranteed and gives its customers the everyday low price and if it is low anywhere else you can price match or get your money back difference if you already purchased it. As the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart saves their customers money and helps ensure a better world for generations to come by setting three aspirational sustainability goals, to be supplied 100% by renewable energy, to create zero waste, and to sell products that sustain people and the environment. I know from working there that they recycle the meat and oil, and produce to farms and companies to be reused. They also have a website where you can check out other things they are having in the works. Wal-Mart is a corporate citizen by in 2011 alone; Wal-Mart and the Wal-Mart Foundation gave $958.9 million in cash and in-kind contributions around the world. This includes $872.7 million in cash and in-kind gifts in the United States and $86.2 million in cash and in-kind gifts in international markets. In addition, Wal-Mart associates volunteered more than 1 million hours that resulted in more than $13 million in grants to local nonprofits.

...Part A: CSR Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept where organizations, mainly companies, have a responsibility to make an effort to improve the quality of their workforce and to make a positive impact to the surrounding society and the environment. Companies should not only base their decisions solely on financial factors, but on social and environmental values. Some benefits of having CSR include improving corporate image to the consumers. According to UK Small Business Consortium, as referenced on the Simply CSR website (2008), “88% of consumers said they were more likely to buy from a company that supports and engages in activities to improve society.” With the rapid usage of unethical business practices, such as spreading negativity about another company via social media, it is easy for a company to get a bad reputation in the consumer’s eyes. However, by promoting CSR, companies will be seen as the “good guys” and potentially gain the trust of the consumers. That trust can carry a company in the long run. Other benefits include maintaining an excellent workforce, differentiating the company from its competitors, and providing access to investment and funding opportunities. Part B: Ethics According to Investopedia, a stakeholder is, “a party that has an interest in an enterprise or project” (Investopedia, n.d.). The stakeholder in the case study on ethical behavior is Ray Pon. Ray is considered to be a stakeholder because he has self-interests in regards...

...writing. In fact, the three universities that I have attended in the past have all required me to use the APA style of writing. As I recall my high school years, the APA style of writing also seemed to be a favorite amongst my high school teachers. They all required that term papers be written in APA style as well. This type of writing actually does not differ much from the ones included in the text reading. The text mentioned the APA style of writing several times. In my opinion, it appears to be the most popular style of writing, especially amongst college students. Based on the results of the quizzes, my grammar skills were actually a little better than average. I actually had expected to do better, but I guess my grammar skills are not as good as I thought they were. In any event I feel very confident when it comes to spelling, as I have always been a great speller. Even in grade school, I was a good speller. I learned at a very young age to challenge myself when it comes to spelling. Challenging my-self in that area really paid off as I became older, as I’ve never had a problem with spelling. However, I feel that I need more help with run on sentences and with thought patterns. Though I proof read my paper several times, it’s hard for me to see that I have several run on sentences until after I get my grade back. In general, I feel that my writing is just mediocre. However, I also believe that when it comes to writing, I am my own worst critic. Reason being, I am never...

...How to Write a Good Academic Paper? That is a question which most students ask and most of them are new to academic writing. Academic writing if taken as a whole, then it would help you figure its significance and what is more important is, it would help you understand the purpose of it. Any good academic writer’s quality is his/her mind is loaded with creative set of ideas that help him navigate through the whole topic of academic paper. Ideas lead you to somewhere and only a few good students are gifted by nature and if you are not then you can also build up a good rhythm of academic writing. Secondly, you should also have a good sense of your audience; you should know what element of your academic writing would entice them and also create some space for your write-up for reading in their schedule. You then research for resources and data that would be of great use to enlighten your readers. Knowing what you audience wants, should be in your priority because readers enjoy what they seek in your writing. Usually what they look out for is something that could either bring them a smile or get them to think over the subject. Having creative ideas doesn’t guarantee a good and well-researched academic writing. You need to able to figure out ways of putting your research in a proper format so that readers don’t feel deviated from the focal point of your write-up.

...Joe Polce English 015 Mrs. Wickman How To Roll Your Own Cigarette Is anyone in your life a cigarette smoker? Do you often notice that they are always complaining about their ever-rising price?
