Companies express this citizenship through their waste and pollution reduction processes, by contributing educational and social programs, and by earning adequate returns on the employed resources.’ (www.businessdictionary.com)
– ‘The Dutch government wants to ensure that Dutch companies engage in socially responsible business practices abroad. This means companies should take account of human rights, working conditions and the environment in their operations.’ (www.government.nl)

How to find a dilemma?
You are asked to think of a CSR -related topic that is or could be relevant to the public company you will analyze for the Financial Analysis unit. Because you need to write an argumentative essay, the topic you choose should involve tension or a possible dilemma for the company.
To find a suitable CSR related theme for your individual 1000-word argumentative essay that is relevant for your chosen public company, do the following:
1. Read the Annual Report of your chosen public company, and study their website. What do they write (or not) about CSR – related topics? What makes you curious? What do you miss? Which CSR- related dilemma could play a role in the company? Or, where do you see CSR opportunities for the company? What role could CSR play in the financial results of a business, in the investment advice, to which kind(s) of persona(s)? An aspect of CSR that you can (also) think of is human trafficking. The Law unit addresses this topic, and perhaps it applies to your public company.
2. Check if the company has been in the news recently. Are there any news reports about topics that relate to the company’s CSR policies and practices? See for example the news reports added below, about Unilever, Postillion Hotels, C&A, and Ryanair.
3. To form your opinion and ‘to make your case’, find and make use of academic research that has been done into CSR-topics that you will address in your essay. Make use of key words when you search. You must use at least 3 *academic sources. Academic sources are: research journal articles and university textbooks. If you search for them in our library’s online databases, they will be free of charge in most cases. For help to find relevant academic sources, please go to our Course information & Learning materials on Blackboard.
Next to these 3 academic sources – so not instead of them-, other sources such as company sources or reliable (news) websites may be used.
* Research journal articles can be recognized by the set up: Abstract-Introduction-Method-Discussion-Conclusion.
