1 Identify three key topics that you want to explore further. For example:
• How do various functional areas or departments individually and collectively contribute to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) outlook of a company?
• How can analyzing financial statements of a company help reveal its commitment toward CSR?
• How can a company become a frontrunner in making ethical choices while staying within legal restrictions?
2 Apply the chosen three topics to re-evaluate The Walt Disney Company (original evaluation is attached)
3 Your re-evaluation should address one of the following considerations:
• Related to the topic, what was your first impression of the company you chose? What is your current impression of the company? How has it changed? Explain your reasoning.
• What drives the direction for the company in its sustainability efforts?
• What are the key features of the CSR efforts of the company?
• Do you believe the company has a sustainable approach to the triple bottom line?
• What are the critical financial, social responsibility, or ethical challenges facing the company in today’s global environment?
4 Based on your evaluation, justify whether The Walt Disney Company deserves praise for its commitment to CSR.
