Sustainable Business Practices
The business that uses sustainable business practices is Amazon. The practices that the entity observes are economically viable, environmentally friendly and socially responsible. Amazon corporate social responsibility activities are vast, ranging from sponsoring of students to the provision of other social amenities to the people (Ortiz‐de‐Mandojana & Bansal, 2016). The entity observes all environmental friendly avenues, including safe ways of wastes disposal to protect human health from any complications. Economically, its practices are open with any case of laundering and tax avoidance not being highlighted anywhere in its history.
The company takes into account all the Triple bottom line components; People, planet and profit. On people, it ensures that it gives back to them through various projects such as building schools, roads and hospitals (Lundgren et al., 2019). On profits, the company uses accurate and accepted avenues to ensure that its reports are true and show the actual financial position of the entity. On the planet, it takes into account all waste management practices, which ensures that the earth is protected from any harm.
The entity has operational functions which are used as part of the sustainability strategy. They have a task force whose purpose is to ensure that all departments observe all the guidelines to do with sustainability (Ortiz‐de‐Mandojana & Bansal, 2016). They also carry out research to improve on the existing guidelines and ensure their implementation to the latter.
I honestly believe that the company is reporting its practices and goals. To support this is that, in the Amazons website, it has posted all the critical information that is key for the public to know and the government agencies (Lundgren et al., 2019). The company is always ready for interrogation by the relevant bodies. It also highlights the quality of the products that are posted on its website to make sure that the customers and buyers are aware of all the features to do with the products. It also has an avenue that different people can use to raise complains regarding their operations.
