  • Contentious Corporate Social Responsibility Practices by British American Tobacco in Cameroon
    CONTENTIOUS CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PRACTICES BY BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO IN CAMEROON Práticas contenciosas de responsabilidade social corporativa pela British American Tobacco nos Camarões Kingsly Awang Ollong1 Introduction Increasingly consumers, employees and managers expect companies, particularly large multinationals, to go beyond their traditional role of creating, producing, packaging and selling—for a profit. Public opinion opines that job creation and tax paying no longer suffice as private sector’s sole contribution to society. The existence of tobacco and cigarette companies triggers the question of the reasonableness of CSR activities undertaken by the companies. While it is known that cigarettes have a negative impact on human health in particular, the act of tobacco companies that is by undertaking CSR has invited a huge controversy which is seen as a platform to maintain its operations. The common denominator among the vast majority of ethical or socially responsible investment policies and products is the exclusion of tobacco companies in their portfolios (Yack et al., 2001:191). Well-planned and well-managed philanthropy, from sponsoring music, film and art festivals to creating education programs for the disadvantaged to protecting the environment, in the name of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a necessary element in virtually every large corporation’s business plan. Many businesses from a wide range of sectors conduct projects and programmes that aim to reduce social inequity—by creating or improving health care or educational facilities, providing vocational and management training, enhancing the quality of leisure and cultural activities. Specific sectors are recognizing their responsibilities and orient their CSR efforts to areas especially relevant to their business.

  • Institute for Social Marketing
    TGP96 Tobacco and Primary Medical Services (Scotland) Bill Institute for Social Marketing We appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this consultation. One of the primary purposes of the Bill is to control the display of tobacco products in order to reduce the attractiveness of cigarettes, which will be the exclusive focus of our submission. We demonstrate the need for the removal of point-of- sale (POS) tobacco displays via summation of the business literature, recent UK research and tobacco industry documents. Business case: Why a ban on tobacco displays will be good for small shops There has been a lot of misleading debate about the business impact of removing POS display. In reality, far from harming small shops, this legislation will help them move their businesses in a progressive and forward looking direction. Small shops succeed because they provide good, personalised service that meets the needs of their customers and local communities. Customers are important for obvious reasons, and getting plenty of them into the shop - increasing ‘footfall’ - is a key concern. Community support is equally important, however, because small shops draw most (60%) of their custom from people living within 440 yards of the outlet (Convenience Store, 2007). In deference to this local focus the Association of Convenience Stores has for years run a major promotional campaign to find stores that are ‘Community Heroes’, arguing that “more and more retailers are recognising the importance of being at the heart of their community” (ACS, 2009). The massive tobacco gantries that currently dominate many small shops, far from helping small shopkeepers meet these key objectives, actually hinder them.
