Excerpt from the Book
1.1 Background
The modern business is not only competitive but also demanding to the level that each business organization needs to undertake corporate social responsibility (CSR) to ensure that it protects the environment. Consumers are now more observant and cautious about who they are buying for, and any detection of a company not undertaking its CSR duties can make the market base shun purchasing from such a company. It is therefore of utmost importance that a business organization undertakes careful planning to showcase to the world what it has been doing and what it plans to do to ensure that harm to the environment is reduced or avoided altogether. This realization comes from the fact that conserving the environment is a responsibility for all individuals, and more so to companies that use the environment for their productive activities. The big companies have a higher duty to ensure that they only profit from the natural resources, yet they do not put measures to replenish or conserve the environment.
The company chosen is Xiaomi Corporation which is a tech giant in China, focused on producing and manufacturing consumer electronics and related software, household items, and home appliances. As a recent market entrant (2010) it has a huge part to play to ensure that it takes important conservation efforts to gain a significant portion of the market. That is why the public relations (PR) role for this company is vital. The company has to exhibit its effort of environmental protection not only to consumers of its products but also to its employees. People in the current world research companies and can even turn down the chance to work for businesses that they feel are not taking measures to reduce their carbon footprints. The PR role at Xiaomi, therefore, needs to put a plan which will communicate the environmental protection objectives and activities to the public.
