This abridged case deals with the pursuit for bounds of corporate' environmental and social responsibility. It poses the question after the firm has been able to gauge what action it ought to take in this respect, the extent to which it holds itself responsible and where the duty of a business might begin or end in a specified context. In case of Axel Springer the question is focused on the feature how much responsibility the company might have on its supply chain: how far and how deep down the supply chain does or should duty of a corporation reach?
On what facts does this obligation depend? The publishing house Axel Springer AG serves as good example as it wonders about their extended responsibility: After making the strategy to move aggressively into the field of digital news and media, the business wonders about their duty for digital apparatus, in particular with respect to conflicts that are for the generation and application of such electronic devices under highly problematic conditions.
This is just an excerpt. This case is about LEADERSHIP & MANAGING PEOPLE
