THE FOUR CASE STUDIES ON THE EFFECTS OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ON WATER POLLUTION: DO CONFLICTS AFFECT A COMPANY’S CSR POLICY?

Abstract

As the world pays more attention to environmental sustainability, organizations need to pay more attention to solving the global water crisis and minimizing its impact on themselves and the planet. Businesses today have a huge impact on the environment and make excessive use of available natural resources and emit harmful pollutants. In order to obtain specific information about the company's water resources strategy and practices, an exploratory analysis was carried out on five multinational companies. This article presents four case studies of the Corporate Social Responsibility Guidelines from Coca-Cola, Mondel?z International, Nestlé and PepsiCo. These multinational companies are involved in environmental conflicts. The main focus of this article is to examine the role of business today in freshwater. In summary, four case studies from CocaCola, Mondel?z International, Nestlé and PepsiCo show that multinational corporations changed their corporate social responsibility and reporting policies after the conflict. These companies resolve these conflicts publicly through the media or in their annual or sustainability reports, thereby making these conflicts transparent.
