Introduction
In a nutshell, the report provided by the company’s CSR committee has examined the
following:
 Management structure of Brico Devices
 Outsourcing process of the company
 Environmental issues related to the company
 Sustainability probabilities of BD
Findings
1. The structure of management is poorly maintained within the company. To be more
specific, the level of hierarchy which is considered as one of the main pillars to run a
company successfully, was not implemented at all within BD. This issue has come out to
be one of the main complications behind creation of pitiable working circumstances.
2. Labor was consistently outsourced through the subcontractor who had a record of
payment violation. This includes delay in paying salaries and even pay slips were not
provided to the workers.
3. As per the records, employees worked for over 60 hours on a weekly basis and certain
amenities are lacked in control working day system for those employees in case of taking
a day off in a week.
4. It is also noticed that the manufacturing giant located in Belgium is deficient in providing
proper personal protecting apparatus to the employees. This maximizes the chances of
employees getting injured while working with the company.

5. The company lacks big time in pollutant registering services. This mainly includes
procedures related to waste water release. This is also not in accordance with the central
and local governmental criteria.
Conclusion
The standard and audit committee of the company has discovered the ensuing
desecrations. A very stern concern was identified by the committee which is upsetting our
environment. In addition, the establishment required corporate social responsibility on safety and
health of its employees. It is also not in accordance with the government’s regulations related to
waste management practices. There is no proper leave policy described or communicated to the
employees and there is a discrepancy present in organizational managerial structure. As a result
of all this, the company’s status became tarnished. For coming out of this crisis, it’s a must for
Brico Devices to take severe actions so that the company can sustain effectively within the
present competitive market.
Recommendations
1. An in-house supervision strategy needs to be implemented so that the information gets
communicated to pan organization. This will help eliminating existing difficulties as well
as will decrease the chances of complications that are on the horizon.
2. For getting rid of ‘employee unfriendly’ status, the company should ask subcontracting
firms to deliver quarterly as well as semi-annually prompt audit reports along with annual
ones.
3. The company requires obtaining a suitable system for changing the work shift. This
strategy will help in avoiding extreme working hours for employees.

new and safe ones for the purpose of providing safety to its employees.
5. The organization have to ponder about adding a recycling division that will deal with the
disposal process of waste products generated by the company.
