Project Scope
You and your fellow team members are purchasing employees at ABC Company, a mid-size product manufacturer located in Kitchener Ontario with customers across Canada and around the globe. You have recently returned from a three (3) day business conference on Corporate Social Responsibility, (CSR), where the main theme centred on global customers' interest in the CSR platforms of the companies, they purchase products from, (I.E. their suppliers). More specifically, the conference focus was on how the purchasing function needs to be a key contributor and supporter of the CSR mandate.
You are aware that ABC Company is in the process of developing new CSR initiatives, but none of you has been actively involved in the project at this point. In your weekly meeting with your boss, the Chief Operating Officer (COO), you discuss the various concepts recently introduced to you at the conference and ask for the purchasing team to become more actively involved in the development of ABC Company's CSR initiatives going forward.
The COO is of course tremendously impressed with your initiative and your commitment to this project and asks you to prepare a report capturing your insights. The report must include a benchmarking comparison with a well-known, publicly held manufacturer (I.E. the company your team has chosen). Your summary report and presentation of findings will make the case as to why the purchasing function should always be a partof the CSR planning process.
1. Research & identify the published corporate social responsibility values of google and identify the role you believe the purchasing team plays in each of those values.
2. Research & identify any known contradictions to those published values.
The company I have chosen is google. Please provide me a detailed answer and a conclusion and a reference.
