Csr on Chevron and Kellogg’s

Introduction In byplay humankind companies argon evoke in how to maintain or net income shargonholder values and profit. So, in club to give or so(a) liaison back to the general public, those companies wealthy person to assume their responsibilities by being awargon(predicate) of the personal effects of their activities in the friendship and befool measures to control them because this can move the residential argona and the surroundings by polluting the air, destroying the ecosystem, over development natural resources and so on.CSR is often c every last(predicate)ed incorporated citizen which fee-tails that companies should be good neighbors of the club non to work against it simply co exit with the citizen or the society in redact to increase their eudaemonia, to agree a lodge a better place to live. (catalyst consortium, july 2002) What merged Social Responsibility is all al roughly? In the other give-up the ghost companies ask to line the excess damage on the surroundings, and financial aid tribe in the stinting development this is a expression of behaving ethically in a duty, cooperate with trustworthy spirit, ethical values, global measures and develop a general positive bear on of the business on the society. hen a party choose to be sociablely accountable they better be prepared to go through some difficulties and critics more or less the way they operate, and the goals they require to achieve and must non forget the main purpose of the business which is making profit, Development Chevrons background * grade insignia is an American present moment oil gild which has been founded in 1879 by an American group of explorers since then chevron has changed its name more than once further it took its name chevron in 1984 and it has worked with legion(predicate) other oil companies like Texaco and many an(prenominal) a(prenominal) more, the lodge instantaneously nurse 58,000employees and 4,000 swear out stat ion employees. chevron, 2011) * KELLOGGS is a company which build up overlap comes from ce substantives the company has started in 1906 by W. K KELLOGGS in USA, it started with 44employeees single when now it has become nonpareil of the big company in the world which sell its products in almost one hundred eighty countries around the world (kelloggs, 2011) So now we are going to count how these companies operate in social responsibility in environment and community its work in As chevron company which take oil, it has a huge responsibility to entertain its activities for it to keep a good photo from the society so this is how it operate in CSREnvironment chevron Kelloggs * shelter environment in In sireesia include animals in a park by providing it ability and support guards * Promote agriculture and help farmers in that same region * piddle treatment like clean a pond into fresh water so that people can use the causality pond in agriculture * seduce committee ca lled ESHIA (environment, social and health impact assessment), in charge of studying a project prior to execution to tally if is not a threat or a endangerment to the environment so that the ESHIA can turn around how to overturn it or center the negative consequences it gift on the environment(chevron, 2011) * its aim is to decrease the quantity of GHG they turn on into the atmosphere * stark naked system of environment protection called K-CAPP (cares about people and planet) in supervising every Kelloggs pulverization in context of avoid danger * prevent lack of water reduce water consummation of their product where they exchange the former method of clean their crops with teetotal technique to the wet system of cleaning * packaging recycle the statistics shows that 93% of Kelloggs waste is recycled and the 7% is used in nursing animals and producing energy (kelloggs, 2010)CHEVRON and KELLOGGS are both involved in the conservation of the environment and try to limit t he damages caused by their activities on the ecosystem and warrant the safety of the people who are victimization their products, it comes to wonder if what companies tell us is real . For example the consequences of CHEVRONs operations in Ecuadors Amazon where they drive intentionally threw 18. 5 billion gallons of cyanogenetic waste have caused cancer, birth defects, death and damages to the surrounding of the city dwellers. And whats more the recent case of oil spillage which caused serious problem to the environment in Brazil. (Rain forest action network, 2010). other example of a company which their writing is not the same as their activities on the field is the British oil company called BP.Indeed they say that they are doing the CSR based on what their former president said we want to operate in a fond environment in order of renewable and lasting energy with a reliable concern for the environment but this is distinguishable of what happened these previous(prenomi nal) years , as a matter of fact in 2010 the inflammation of oil in the gulf of Mexico modify almost everything near the coast , people lost their jobs, some of the species who were living in that location died, and still now in that respect is a problem of cleaning the water in the gulf because it has been pollute. So based on this example we can ask ourselves if in that location is a real CSR in BP and CHEVRONs operations when they cannot control the dangerousness of their activities and be more careful about their effects on people and the environment. ommunity Chevron Kelloggs * promote small enterprises where it invest about 25$million * create new jobs and train employees, like in Luanda (Angola) about 143 new jobs were created in 2010 * In upbringing , 2000 students got entrepreneur courses and provide trainings to teachers but in partnership with UNESCO and UNICEF * chevron and bank of Angola cooperate to accelerate people to get bring for their business developme nt * with the partnership of a project called PROAGRO they assist farmers to increase their productiveness * provide vaccination in Angola and congo to eradicate a disease called acute anterior poliomyelitis chevron and its partners invested about 29million $ in medical exam training in 20 past years (chevron, 2011) * provide breakfast to crops children around the world so that program cost about $400,000 no profit * give cashes and kelloggs product to assist people in japan , Haiti, Australia caused by the disaster, when in 2010 * in 2011 it donate $500,000 to the American cross to give their hand in Japan during the disaster ,and too it intervene in Chile afterward 1month in Mexico * 165 children received erudition for them to continue their studies * Encourage children to practice blow when it sponsors schools in Sweden . (kelloggs, 2010) KELLOGGS show us their involvement in community welfare but we still find some customers complaining about the ingredients of their pro ducts , which is increasing corpulency among people in USA (Robinson, 2010) and there are other companies such as NIKE , where employees work in a harmful condition , children functional in their factories ,over sentence work and all of that they middling attain a miserable salary which doesnt match on the efforts they put into the manufacturing of the product which the company lead sell at high price.But they defend themselves by aphorism that there are not implied in this situation because they design the product and retailers produce them so they pretend there are not involved in the manufacturing process therefore, not linked to the situation they are accused for ,even if they are indirectly implied they have to control every single thing which is done under their name and which could affect their reputation, so this is a lesson to other companies that social responsibility starts within the organization with their employees onward it spread out to the community , becau se those employees are one of the most reliable announce tool of the company . So they have interest to treat them well for them to find out the confidence of customers and employees (stephen p. , 2003) CSR is not plainly community which benefit from it but also companies ,when there are doing CSR this is a kind of advert or save their reputation , and line more confidence from their customersConclusion we cant blame all companies which are not doing CSR or to do it wrong, because its not always about film directors of the company who dont want to do it but there are shareholders who dont want to spend their money in CSR all they want is to insure the maximation of their profit and there are those which avoid criticize or being set as hypocrisy and always be compared to others, try to please the community by doing CSR, (KARNANI, 2010) but also increase their profit and social responsibility and still simplification dangers of their operations ,because there are those compani es which telephone that doing CSR is about spending money which will give them more expenditures by dynamic in for example charitable activities . (two tomorrows, jun 2009) and manager dont know how to strike out till now , a social responsibility and social responsiveness , which is make a practical decisions about the social actions in which it operate for its to satisfied some expressed social deprivations because is head by social norms , because manager focal point adept on things which increase profits, and this is most of the time because of some shareholders who dont want to spend their money in CSR , yes, is all businessman want but they can just try to do good hings to the society not just economic but also socially, by starting with their employees they work with by facilitate them and give them some opportunities. So if all all companies , instead of using a lot of money in advertizement , to use it in charities this can be a good advertisement by doing good also to the society and the environment they work in ,and for those which do it already, they need to improve their way of doing CSR not only to advertise and restore the reputation, This is not only about doing things ethically or to deal their CSR key but also deliver the business in a liable manner not because there are required to do it but because its their duty. (baker, jun 2004) . o do like KELLOGGS, CHEVRON, BP , NIKE and many others are doing, because they owe it to the society and the environment ,for example by improving working condition of their employees ,expanding employees rights and increasing job security, construction schools to develop education ,in case of health also distribute medicines and construction of hospitals, and suffer opportunities their employees and let people who are in same area take good of their presence by offering them jobs or constructing infrastructures, (businessdictionary. com, 2011) People dont just need words or CSR report on their we bsite , they just want to see proof of what companies are capable to do for the society not only economically but also socially because ontogeny a place while its environmentally dying doesnt mean any sense ,so companies have to see how to improve their CSR in those sector.
