Example corporate responsibility dissertation topic 1:

An analysis of aspects of corporate social responsibility: An investigation into the issues of sustainability and carbon footprints.

As businesses increasingly focus on unique selling points to appeal to their buying public, the issue of green credibility has become increasingly contested. Focusing on a selection of high street retailers whose core business is focused upon food (McDonald’s, Sainsbury’s and Costa Coffee) this dissertation charts not only the initiatives undertaken by the individual firms to cast themselves as more eco-friendly but also assesses the impact that those initiatives have had on the buying public. Using both primary and secondary data this dissertation seeks not only to analyse the existing status quo of these companies but also to offer key recommendations for the future as to how they may yet further improve their green credentials.
