In the summer of 2009, Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, left no doubt about its enormous power in the marketing channel. Walmart announced to all manufacturers whose products it sells that they must adhere to Walmart’s new “green” environmental initiative. The manufacturers must estimate and disclose the environmental costs of producing their products and then allow Walmart to use that information to develop a “green” rating system that will be disclosed to consumers on product labels. The cost of the “green” program will be borne entirely by the 100,000 Walmart suppliers. Although the program will take a number of years to implement fully, some parts of it may be in place by as early as mid-2011. Suppliers will not be able to opt-out of this program. So all of them, from the largest to the smallest, will have to participate. Walmart has made it clear that the giant retailer will likely drop those suppliers if they do not.

The company, which captures 70 percent of the U.S. diesel-powered passenger-car market, was caught cheating on diesel emissions tests. Over the past many years, Volkswagen had installed software on more than half a million diesel cars in the United States—and roughly 10.5 million more worldwide—that detected when the cars were undergoing emissions tests and triggered so-called “defeat devices” that temporarily switched operating modes and allowed them to pass the tests. VW diesel autos were found to actually be emitting up to 40 times the allowable levels of nitrogen oxide pollutants. Volkswagen has long pitched its diesel cars as efficient, nonpolluting vehicles. But in 2008, when U.S. rules on diesel exhaust became stricter, VW faced difficulties meeting the new standards and living up to its “clean diesel” advertising promises and image. So, under competitive pressures, it covertly installed the secret…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.

CSR strategies encourage the company to make a positive impact on the environment and stakeholders including consumers, employees, investors, communities, and others. Every year,…arrow_forward
