The company launched its bottled water brand - Dasani in the US in 1999. Once it became a success in the domestic market, Coca-Cola launched Dasani in the UK in February 2004. However, Dasani soon ran into controversies as the British media wrote that tap water was the source of Dasani. The media criticized Coca-Cola for misleading public by describing tap water as 'pure' and cheating them by selling it at highly inflated price. The explanations given by the company that it adopted the most sophisticated purification process before bottling the water did not convince the critics. To further add to Coca-Cola's problems, regular inspections conducted by the company revealed that something went wTong at the Dasani's purification factory and a bad batch of minerals contaminated the bottled water containing potentially carcinogenic (capable of causing cancer) bromate.…arrow_forwardHyundai is offering to pay more than $85 million to settle a class-action lawsuit that was filed after the Korean automaker overstated the horsepower of Hyundai and Kia cars exported to the U.S. Plaintiffs in the suit are roughly 840,000 consumers who bought 1996 to 2002 model year vehicles. Hyundai has admitted overstating engine power by as much as 10%. Company officials say it was an oversight, that they miscalculated the effect of U.S. anti-pollution devices. The miscalculations affected about 1.3 million cars, of which 400,000 were misstated by more than 4 percent. The company estimates that the average misstatement among all 1.3 million vehicles was 4.6 horsepower. Hyundai originally offered to provide extended warranties and roadside assistance plans to affected consumers. It attempted to downplay the seriousness of the mistakes, saying that customers who buy Hyundai are not primarily interested in horsepower.

- In the summer of 2009, Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, left no doubt about its enormous power in the marketing channel. Walmart announced to all manufacturers whose products it sells that they must adhere to Walmart’s new “green” environmental initiative. The manufacturers must estimate and disclose the environmental costs of producing their products and then allow Walmart to use that information to develop a “green” rating system that will be disclosed to consumers on product labels. The cost of the “green” program will be borne entirely by the 100,000 Walmart suppliers. Although the program will take a number of years to implement fully, some parts of it may be in place by as early as mid-2011. Suppliers will not be able to opt-out of this program. So all of them, from the largest to the smallest, will have to participate. Walmart has made it clear that the giant retailer will likely drop those suppliers if they do not. Questions: 1.

The aim is to increase long- term profits and shareholder trust through positive public relations and high ethical standards to reduce business and legal risk by taking responsibility for corporate actions. CSR strategies encourage the company to make a positive impact on the environment and stakeholders including consumers, employees, investors, communities, and others.
