Business Ethics & Social Responsibility

The balancing of competing interests of stake holders in business is often tied to its core business. This assignment will ask you to look at several different companies and assess and compare their activities of social responsibility. The companies we will consider are UPS, Starbucks, Timberland, and GE.

For this discussion you are to use our textbook, the relevant corporate website, and business journals as resources.

Post: Choose one of the companies listed above.

Describe the company’s activities of corporate philanthropy (see definition page 39 of text) based on the corporate web site. Provide specific data about these activities (this might include amount of money spent, location of efforts, involvement of employees……..) and provide specific URLs which will support your data.
