Strategic CSR - Welcome back!


Welcome back to the Strategic CSR Newsletter!
The first newsletter of the Spring semester is below.
As always, your comments and ideas are welcome.
 

In the aftermath of the consumption and materialistic fueled holiday season, the video in the url below reveals the extent of waste that is embedded in the growing economy of online retail:


The video features Amazon, but really applies to all online retail and fast fashion (e.g., see Strategic CSR – Fast fashion and Strategic CSR – Casper). While the video clearly identifies a problem, however, it also suggests Amazon is fully aware of the problem and, encouragingly, is trying to do something about it.

Have a great semester.
