The importance of CSR is evident from a study that was done by Cone Communications in 2017 which indicated that more than 60% of all Americans are hopeful that businesses will implement environmental and social changes in the absence of regulations by the government. 87% of the respondents also indicated that they would purchase a product simply because the company is in support of an issue that they care about. It further indicated that 76% of the respondents would refuse to support a company if they determine that it supports issues that are in contrary to their beliefs (Cone, 2019). Therefore, the issue in the organization that is under study is trying to change the corporate policy to benefit the environment.
