Italy makes health COVID ‘green pass’ mandatory for big events - and for pizza Rome Italy significantly ramped up pressure on its unvaccinated population, announcing that a digital or printed health pass would be necessary for a range of everyday leisure activities from theatregoing to dining indoors. The nation is essentially betting that it can revive its slowing vaccination campaign - and avoid future, onerous restrictions - by creating heavy incentives for inoculation. Though technically the pass can be obtained with proof of antibodies or from a recent negative coronavirus test, those paths are far less straightforward than getting vaccinated.

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.

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."
