impact over the consumer health, society and environment. The accountability and responsibility
of the Tesco and other companies are increasing day by day towards their consumers and society.

produce the goods and services which are eco-friendly and do not harm consumer health. For
example; the horsemeat scandal of the Tesco affects the business brand image badly (Jeffrey,
Rosenberg and McCabe, 2019).

help their business to grow all over the world. They basically produce and offers the products
that are high in quality as per the customers needs. Aimia company has supported more than 40
Charites and is a winner of future proofing charity award. Gillette is also one example of positive
impact of CSR where the company use the men shaving issues to provide them best and allergic
free shaving machine (Kim and et.al., 2020).
Negative Aspect of issue:

It is happened because failed to provide positive culture at workplace. The company also faces
the lawsuit over exposure to the toxic elements. The employees of the company are badly harsh
