Corporate social responsibility
Write a corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy for the British gas and oil company BP (British Petroleum). Focus on their CSR focal point; the ultimate goal of the company’s plan and strategy is to become a net-zero company by 2050. Do you think it’s possible to reach those targets since BP has been accused of ‘greenwashing’ and is still drilling for new oil and gas? Find out what their ‘pitfalls’ might be (for example, have they received some bad press? Or are they not yet active in a CSR area that you deem important?).
The strategy should be centered around the chosen CSR-focal point and contains a legal analysis of the specific human rights context. It also provides original and creative arguments in favor of adopting the strategy, thereby not losing sight of the relevant stakeholders. The strategy should be well written in a professional manner and the APA standard should be applied.
