- Case Coca-Cola, the world's largest carbonated beverages company, ventured into the fast growing bottled water industry. The company launched its bottled water brand - Dasani in the US in 1999. Once it became a success in the domestic market, Coca-Cola launched Dasani in the UK in February 2004. However, Dasani soon ran into controversies as the British media wrote that tap water was the source of Dasani. The media criticized Coca-Cola for misleading public by describing tap water as 'pure' and cheating them by selling it at highly inflated price. The explanations given by the company that it adopted the most sophisticated purification process before bottling the water did not convince the critics. To further add to Coca-Cola's problems, regular inspections conducted by the company revealed that something went wTong at the Dasani's purification factory and a bad batch of minerals contaminated the bottled water containing potentially carcinogenic (capable of causing cancer) bromate.…arrow_forwardPreparation Corporate social responsibility (CSR, also called corporate conscience, corporate citizenship, or responsible business) is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. CSR policy functions as a self-regulatory mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards, and national or international norms. With some models, a firm's implementation of CSR goes beyond compliance and engages in "actions that appeár to further some social good, beyond the interests of the firm and that which is required by law." The aim is to increase long- term profits and shareholder trust through positive public relations and high ethical standards to reduce business and legal risk by taking responsibility for corporate actions. CSR strategies encourage the company to make a positive impact on the environment and stakeholders including consumers, employees, investors, communities, and others.

- Over the years, the Red Cross has been guided in its use of donations by honoring donor intent. This policy helped the organization deal with a major ethical challenge after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Red Cross received more than $1 billion in donations and initially diverted some money to ancillary operations, such as creating a strategic blood reserve. After donors objected, however, the organization reversed its decision and – honoring donor intent – used the contributions to directly benefit people affected by the tragedy. Should the American Red Cross have reversed its initial decision to divert some of the money donated for September 11 relief efforts to pressing but ancillary operations?
