Scenario

You are working in the HR department for "Computing Supplies Ltd" and been asked to look into Corporate Social Responsibilities as a number of serious issues have arisen. The company recently received bad publicity after a documentary was filmed showing obsolete computers owned by the company being stripped down for gold by children in Africa. To complicate things further, the computers were being burnt to collect the gold which creates dangerous fumes both for the environment and for the children.

Another issue is that "Computing Supplies Ltd" pays the majority of its employees the minimum wage in order to maximise profit. Several employees have now joined a union and trying to negotiate a living wage to no avail, which has also caused some bad publicity. Due to the bad publicity, 4 large clients have already terminated their contract and as a consequence, the revenue is down 15% compared to the previous year.

"Computing Supplies Ltd" is also planning on relocating some of its manufacturing abroad in order to cut down costs, however it seems that it would not really benefit the locals as the subcontracting cost implies cuts, in particular relating to local wages and local use of water.
