10D the BIG question...

One of Vodafone's main aims is linked to 'corporate social responsibility' (CSR). This is a measure of how well the business treats the communities and environment in which it operates (e.g. community projects to help alleviate poverty in third world countries and eco frindly projects to reduce their carbon footprint such as recycling). In 2008 they even won an award for their CSR, proof that they have made good progress towards achieving their aim.

Question: Why do you think Vodafone see CSR as so important? How might it help them be more successful?

  5. Vodafone see CSR as being an important thing to them because it gives them a better link with the local communities, which in turn might make them mkore interested in what the company do as a whole. if they have more CSR then they would be getting more involved with the environment and communites which would give them more publicity.

  7. Vodafone may see CSR as important because they want to create a good reputation for the business and to encourage people to buy from vodafone because people would want business from companies that care about their customers and the community. This means that they may get more customers which will make them more successful.

  8. Vodaphone see CSR as so important as it benifits them in many ways, for instance it boosts their image, in a way that makes people become more willing to go with the company. This will increase sales, and it turn their profit.

  14. Vodafone see coroprate social resonsibility as a very important thing becuase it builds a well regarded reputation which would be have a positive effect with regards to sales because many people may decide to use them because the money they make from sales goes towards helping those who are less fortunate.

    the csr scheme shows that vodafone care about others. Customers may buy more from the company if they have a sceme like this becasue the customers will feel happy when the buy a product from the comapny that they have helped someone.

  16. so it helps the planet and it also helps the people who have been affected by the development of vodafone in that area. if the development of the building of which vodafone will operate it may have to take down houses and with CSR it will either find a new place to construct or provide new houses for the people that have been affected.
