When you think about it, it\u2019s the efforts the company puts in and how it makes an impact on the environment and people. For example, let\u2019s put into perspective car companies. While car\u2019s do emit many carbon gases and chemical\u2019s into the atmosphere, travel is a need by all humans to survive because it\u2019s what gets us to work and provides us with the money we need to eat. Tesla is a car company that\u2019s main goal is to be environmentally sustainable by making electric cars and get rid of the planet\u2019s biggest polluters (without the use of fuel and using renewable energy sources) (Impact Tesla 1). However, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that a company like Ford is able to make a profit without being good. Ford actually has goals to be environmentally sustainable as well. Ford states, \u201cFord is the only full line U.S. automaker committed to reducing CO2 emissions in line with the Paris Climate Agreement\u201d. Ford also mentions becoming carbon neutral, using 100 percent locally sourced renewable energy for their plants, and eliminating single use plastics in their operations (Sustainability &#8211; Further with Ford Ford Motor Company 1). So even though Ford isn\u2019t a fully electric car company like Tesla, both companies still seek to further their good deeds in the world, all while being able to maintain\/make a profit.<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;It&#8217;s expected by consumers that companies&nbsp;fulfill their corporate social responsibility (fundraisers\/donations, communities, ethical practices, being environmentally sustainable, helping society,&nbsp;etc.) so these&nbsp;efforts are well respected and highly praised.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Sources:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><a style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">https:\/\/corporate.ford.com\/microsites\/fordtrends\/sustaining-sustainability.html#:~:text=Ford%27s%20sustainability%20goals%20include%20becoming,from%20its%20operations%20by%202030<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin: -1px -1px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Links to an external site.<\/span><\/span><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><a style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">https:\/\/www.tesla.com\/impact#:~:text=Our%20Impact,right%20thing%20along%20the%20way<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin: -1px -1px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Links to an external site.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">As mentioned in our book&#8217;s first learning module, it is becoming increasingly important for businesses to transform their operating systems and convert their organizations to the CSV &#8220;Creating Shared Value&#8221; model, which allows them to be more competitive while also returning a portion of their profits to the communities in which they operate, resulting in a continuous cycle in which both parties benefit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">I believe that any type of business can make a profit while also benefiting communities. However, I believe that clothing companies are an important factor in today&#8217;s world, with the potential to contribute to communities while also attracting more people to pursue their interests. For example, the sports clothing brand Patagonia has &#8220;Protect our home planet&#8221; as one of its core values, which has allowed it to be recognized globally not only for the quality of its garments, but also for its sustainability system that uses recycled materials, reduces water consumption, and promotes fair work for its employees. They also encourage customers to repair their clothes rather than purchase new ones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Finally, according to Forbes.com, &#8220;businesses are part of the communities where they reside,&#8221; with benefits including a good business reputation and marketing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">References:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\u201cOur Core Values &#8211; Patagonia.\u201d<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><i style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Patagonia Outdoor Clothing &amp; Gear<\/i>, www.patagonia.com\/core-values\/.
