Lav en analyse af virksomhedens CSR og dens praktiske anvendelse af CSR.

Vurder på baggrund af analysen om der er sammenhold mellem deres CSR politik og deres praktiske anvendelse af CSR, samt Coca Colas fremtidige strategiske muligheder.

Abstract
This paper investigates how much and in which ways Coca Cola Enterprises uses CSR. The importance of CSR has grown over the last couple of years, and with the major brand Coca Cola has, it is of great importance to Coca Cola Enterprises. With Porter’s Five Forces I have analyzed the competition on the market, and which advantages it gives Coca Cola Enterprises when they use CSR. I have also used Porter’s generic strategies and through analysis I figured out which strategy Coca Cola Enterprises use. Coca Cola Enterprises uses the strategy called differentiation. This strategy is making customers prefer your product, and giving it a special value to the customers. CSR is about taking responsibility, and Coca Cola Enterprises does that. They do that in many ways for example with sustainable bottles and cans. The result shows that Coca Cola Enterprises uses CSR a lot. Through the analysis I have come forward to that Coca Cola Enterprises especially uses CSR in their marketing. This paper also shows that Coca Cola Enterprises has many strategic opportunities in the future, for example they can expand their customer service department.

1. Indledning Folk er blevet mere bevidste på verden omkring dem, og derfor har CSR i de seneste år fået en voksende betydning, det er for mange blevet vigtigt at producenten af de produkter de køber, gør noget for samfundet, også selvom det ikke giver profit for virksomheden. Det er derfor vigtigt at især store virksomheder anderkender dette, og derefter formår at udnytte den fordel det kan give dem at benytte sig af CSR.
Derfor har jeg valgt at redegøre for Coca Colas CSR politik, og derefter analysere deres praktiske anvendelse af CSR. For at afgrænse opgave vil jeg tage udgangspunkt i Coca Cola Enterprises som er Coca Cola tapperiet i Storbritannien, i stedet for The Coca Cola Company. Da Coca Cola Enterprises er et af de tapperier der især har fokus på CSR er det meget oplagt at vælge at analysere dette tapperi, fremfor det danske tapperi. Da Coca Cola er en af verdens største virksomheder, og har verdens mest kendte brand, kan de få en stor fordel ud af at benytte sig af CSR, da dette ofte kaster et positivt lys på virksomheden.
I forhold til analyse vil jeg benytte mig af Porters Five Forces da denne model giver mig et overblik over konkurrencen på markedet, og ud fra dette vil det være muligt at vurdere om det overhovedet kan betale sig for Coca Cola Enterprises at bruge mange penge på CSR. I analysen vil jeg også kigge på Porters generiske strategier, for at kunne bestemme hvilken Coca Cola Enterprises benytter sig af, og hvilke fordele og ulemper der er ved denne, og om CSR er en del af deres konkurrencestrategi.
Til slut i opgaven vil jeg vurdere om der er sammenhæng mellem Coca Cola Enterprises’ CSR politik og deres praktiske anvendelse af CSR. Jeg vil også vurdere hvilke strategiske muligheder Coca Cola Enterprises har fremover.
2. Redegørelse
2.1 Virksomhedsportræt

Coca Cola bliver grundlagt i 1887 af Asa G. Candler. De har det mest kendte brand i verden. Coca Cola har afdelinger og samarbejdspartenere i stort set alle lande, og tilsammen arbejder der 600.000 for denne store virksomhed. Coca Colas produkter kan købes i mere end 200 lande. Coca Cola Enterprises er den tredje største selvstændige Coca Cola tapperi. Coca Cola Enterprises er også det eneste tapperi der har licens til at tappe Coca Colas produkter i Belgien, kontinentale Frankrig, Storbritannien, Luxembourg, Monaco, Holland, Norge og Sverige. Coca Cola Enterprises beskæftiger omkring 4500 medarbejdere i Storbritannien. Coca Cola Enterprises har besluttet sig for at minimere de miljømæssige konsekvensker af deres produkter og aktiviteter. De har særligt fokus på bæredygtig emballage, og genanvendelse, samt energi og klima beskyttelse. Coca Cola Enterprises’ produktion er ISO 14 001 certificeret.

2.2 CSR politik

Coca Cola Enterprises’ CSR politik hedder ”Commitment 2020”, denne har de lavet ud fra The Coca Cola Companys ”Live Positively”. CSR politikken har syv hovedpunkter, som minder meget om de syv hovedpunkter der er i ”Live Positively”, men Coca Cola Enterprises har valgt at sætte sit eget præg på CSR politikken.
”Energy conservation/climate change: Reduce the overall carbon footprint of our business operations by an absolute 15% by 2020, as compared to our 2007 baseline.

Water stewardship: Establish a water-sustainable operation by protecting our water sources, minimising our water use and replenishing the amount of water used in our beverages.

Sustainable packaging/recycling: Reduce the impact of our packaging: maximise our use of renewable, reusable and recyclable resources and recover the equivalent of 100% of our packaging.

Product portfolio: Provide refreshing beverages for every lifestyle and occasion, while helping consumers make informed beverage choices.

Community: Make a positive social, economic and environmental contribution to the communities in which we operate.

Active healthy living: Support active healthy living through physical activity programmes, nutrition education and by providing a wide choice of products.

Workplace: Create a culture where diversity is valued, every employee is a respected member of the team and our workforce is a reflection of the communities in which we operate.”
Overstående tekst er Coca Cola Enterprises’ CSR politik. I CSR politikken er der især fokus på mennesker og bæredygtighed. Coca Cola Enterprises ønsker at være en endnu mere ansvarlig virksomhed og dette vil de blandt andet gøre ved at gøre en positiv forskel i de samfund de arbejder i. De vil også hjælpe deres kunder med at tage informerede valg når de køber læskedrikke, dette vil de gøre gennem en produktportefølje.

2.3 Vision, mission og værdier
Coca Cola Enterprises har som mange andre virksomheder selvfølgelig en vision, en mission, og nogle værdier. Deres vision er at være den bedste sælger af læskedrikke samt at være det bedste firma indenfor kundeservice. Deres mission er ” To refresh the world, to inspire moments of optimism and happiness, to create value and make a difference.”. Deres værdier er ansvarlighed, at være kundeminded og at være et team.
3. Analyse
3.1 Porters five forces
Porters five forces bruges til at analyse konkurrence på et marked. I forhold til Coca Cola og deres brug af CSR vil jeg bruge Porters five forces til at analyse hvilke fordele det giver Coca Cola at benytte sig af CSR, og hvilke ulemper det giver dem.

Ud fra billedet ovenover kan man se hvilke punkter der indgår i Porters five forces. Jeg vil tage punkterne et efter et og analyse hvordan situation ser ud for Coca Cola Enterprises.

3.1.1Leverandører: Coca Cola Enterprises har mange forskellige leverandører. De søger altid efter de leverandører der har den højeste kvalitet til den laveste pris. Coca Cola Enterprises har generelt mange krav til deres leverandører. For en virksomhed som Coca Cola Enterprises er det af største betydning af de leverandører de har den højeste kvalitet. Deres leverandører skal ikke have kapacitetsbegrænsninger, da Coca Cola Enterprises bruger mange råvarer i løbet af en dag, men samtidig har deres leverandører også en fordel da leverance bliver bestilt i god tid, og ikke en dag før det skal leveres. Da Coca Cola Enterprises er en stor virksomhed, har de også mange muligheder for at udskifte deres leverandører, derfor har deres leverandører en relativt lav forhandlingsstyrke. Men jo større en leverandør er, jo højere forhandlingsstyrke vil de have, da der vil være nogle leverandører hvor det ville være meget vanskeligt for Coca Cola Enterprises hvis de mister dem.

3.1.2 Kunder: Coca Cola Enterprises har mange forskellige slags kunder, alt fra tankstationer, til restauranter. Da Coca Cola er et meget kendt brand er mange butikker villige til at betale ekstra for at have dette mærke i deres butik, fremfor et lidt billigere mærke som for eksempel Pepsi. Også Coca Cola Enterprises små kunder har en relativ lav forhandlingsstyrke, da der er mange kunder for en så stor virksomhed. De større kunder som Coca Cola Enterprises har, har en højere forhandlingsstyrke da det kan have konsekvenser for Coca Cola Enterprises hvis de mister dem, derfor vil de strække sig længere for at beholde dem.
3.1.3 Potentielle indtrængere: Det er meget svært som ny virksomhed at komme ind på markedet for læskedrikke. Mange kunder er meget loyale overfor de eksisterende mærker på markedet, og det skaber vanskeligheder for nye virksomheder. Det ville højst sandsynligt være meget kapitalkrævende at etablere sig på markedet, og man kan drage stor fordel af stordrift, derfor er der alt i alt høje indgangsbarrierer.

3.1.4 Substituerende produkter: Da der er mange forskellige læskedrikke på markedet, er der automatisk også mange substituerende produkter. Men for Coca Cola Enterprises’ kunder kan miste hvis de ikke længere sælge Coca Cola. Derfor har det ikke den store betydning for Coca Cola Enterprises at der er mange substituerende produkter. Men da Coca Cola ligger i den dyre ende af prisskalaen vil mange vælge et billigere mærke som følge af finanskrisen.

3.1.5 Konkurrencesituationen i branchen: Læskedrikke branchen er en branche med få store udbydere. Det er også et marked hvor væksten er minimal. Og et marked hvor Coca Cola har den største markedsandel. Lige efter Coca Cola følger Pepsi.

Leverandørernes forhandlingsstyrke | Lav Middel Høj | Kundernes forhandlingsstyrke | Lav Middel Høj | Trussel fra potentielle indtrængere | Lav Middel Høj | Trussel fra substituerende produkter | Lav Middel Høj | Konkurrenceintensiteten i branchen | Lav Middel Høj | Branchens attraktivitet | Lav Middel Høj |

Man kan ud fra ovenstående diagram se at konkurrencen på markedet ikke er så stor, men det er et meget attraktivt marked for Coca Cola Enterprises. Man kan ud fra dette også se at Coca Cola Enterprises står meget stærkt på markedet. Ved brugen af CSR kan Coca Cola Enterprises styrke deres position på markedet da det vil gøre dem mere attraktiv for kunderne at de gør noget godt for samfundet.

3.2 Porters generiske strategier Porters generiske strategier omfatter 4 konkurrencestrategier. Hver enkelte af dem beskriver en overordnet måde som virksomheden kan bruge til at konkurrere med de andre virksomheder på markedet.
Ud fra Coca Cola Enterprises markedsføring og brug af CSR kan man se at de benytte sig af konkurrencestrategien differentiering. Når en virksomhed ønsker at satse på differentiering forsøger de at få deres produkt til at have mere ”værdi” for kunderne. Dette gør Coca Cola Enterprises blandt andet gennem deres CSR, for eksempel ved at lave bæredygtig emballage. Coca Cola Enterprises forsøger at skabe et unikt produkt for deres kunder ved at vise at de tager ansvar for den forurening de er skyld i, samtidig med at de prøver at forbedre det. Når man benytter sig at differentiering ønsker man samtidig med at man har et unikt produkt at henvende sig til hele markedet. Coca Cola Enterprises forsøger med et meget bredt sortiment at ramme så mange målgrupper som muligt. Deres sortiment indeholder alt fra sodavand til juice og vand. Dette gør det muligt for alle at finde noget de kan lide og ønsker at drikke.
Det er en fordel for Coca Cola Enterprises at benytte sig af differentiering da det kunderne skaber præferencer for deres produkter, og dette gør at de vil vælge deres produkt fremfor et billigere mærke. Det er også en fordel for dem at benytte sig af differentiering fordi man har mulighed for at satse på en meget større målgruppe, og det giver større indtjeningsmuligheder. Det kan være en ulempe for Coca Cola Enterprises at benytte sig af differentiering da man kan satse for bredt og derved ikke ramme nogle overhovedet gennem ens markedsføring.
CSR er en integreret del af deres konkurrencestrategi, da de benytter sig af CSR til at differentiere sig fra konkurrenterne. Det skaber en præference for Coca Colas brand at de benytter sig af CSR, og især Coca Cola Enterprises får udnyttet denne præference til fulde da de benytter sig utroligt meget af CSR, og sørger for at det synligt for deres kunder.
4. Vurdering

Jeg vil mene at der er sammenhæng mellem Coca Cola Enterprises CSR politik og deres praktiske anvendelse af CSR. Blandt andet bruger de bæredygtig emballage som er et af hovedpunkterne i deres CSR politik. Coca Cola Enterprises bruger især CSR til at skabe præferencer for deres produkter. Dette kan man se gennem deres konkurrencestrategi, hvor de benytter sig af differentiering. Gennem CSR styrker de deres brand, og herved skaber de et ”unikt” produkt for deres kunder.
Coca Cola Enterprises har flere forskellige strategiske muligheder fremover. En af dem er at udvide kundeservice afdeling da det er deres vision at være det bedste firma indenfor kundeservice. En anden er at udvide produktudviklingsafdelingen, da det er en del at deres mission at de vil forfriske verden, for at sikre at de rammer alle segmenter er de nødt til at sørger for at der er et bredt udvalg til alle deres kunder, og potentielle kunder. En strategisk mulighed kunne også være at benytte CSR mere i deres markedsføring, da det er en del af deres mission at skabe værdi og gøre en forskel, og det gør en virksomhed som Coca Cola Enterprises gennem CSR, da de gennem CSR kan tage ansvar og gøre en væsentlig forskel i forhold til miljø og samfundet omkring dem.
5. Konklusion

Jeg har gennem min opgave redegjort for Coca Cola Enterprises CSR politik. Coca Cola Enterprises har meget stor fokus på deres anvendelse af CSR, og da Coca Cola har et af verdens mest kendte brands er det en stor fordel for dem at benytte sig så meget af CSR.
Jeg har analyseret konkurrence på markedet med Porters Five Forces, gennem denne analyse er jeg kommet frem til at konkurrence på læskedrikke markedet er middel, og at det kan betale sig for Coca Cola Enterprises at benytte sig af CSR da det skaber en præference for virksomheden i forhold til kunderne. Herefter har jeg analyseret mig frem til at Coca Cola Enterprises benytter sig af konkurrencestrategien differentiering. Dette skaber også præferencer for virksomheden, da de har et ”unikt” produkt. De benytter CSR som en del af deres konkurrencestrategi, da det kan skabe større præferencer for deres produkter, hvis de viser at de tager ansvar for verden omkring dem.
I min vurdering er jeg nået frem til at der er sammenhæng mellem Coca Cola Enterprises CSR politik og deres praktiske anvendelse af CSR. Jeg er også nået frem til at Coca Cola Enterprises har flere forskellige strategriske muligheder i fremtiden. De kan blandt andet udvide kundeserviceafdeling, eller udvide produktudviklingsafdeling, eller benytte sig mere af CSR i deres markedsføring, alle disse ting hjælper virksomheden med at opfylde deres vision, mission eller værdier.

WELCOMES
RESPONSIBILITY
DEAL INITIATIVE
The coalition government elected in May 2010 brought with it a new approach to public health, and in particular policy on obesity. Rather than seeking to impose changes on the composition of food and drink, the plan is to encourage companies to make their own changes in line with what their businesses can reasonably achieve, through what have been named Responsibility Deals.
This approach has been welcomed by BSDA.
Jill Ardagh, BSDA Director General, said:
“The soft drinks industry has proved over the years that a responsible approach by industry is the right way to deal with issues of public concern. For example, people thinking about the issue of obesity should note how the soft drinks product range has changed radically. The proportion of the market made up of drinks with no added sugar is now 60 per cent, up from only 30 per cent 20 years ago.

“This has been achieved without regulation.
Instead, it was a combination of product innovation, clear nutritional information, and a focus on the needs of the consumer that delivered. A responsible approach by industry works.”
BSDA published a Responsibility Report to illustrate the industry’s wide-ranging actions to improve and extend choice of sustainably produced and responsibly marketed drinks.

Csr: Coca Cola

...responsibilities and fulfill certain ethical obligations to society at large. Coca Cola is a company that maintains that CSR is one of its major responsibilities as the world’s largest beverage system and a great way to make a positive difference in the communities it serves. Criticisms that Coca Cola’s efforts are only an attempt to resist regulation do little in detracting from the company’s fulfillment of its corporate social responsibility. Coca Cola still fulfills its corporate social responsibility considering the limitations its capitalistic origin and identity set. Water stewardship is one of the sustainability efforts Coca Cola believes is important to fulfilling its corporate social responsibility. This stewardship includes increasing water efficiency by reducing the amount it uses per liter of product, even as production volume increases. The company has improved its water use ratio, its measure of efficiency, by 16 percent compared to 2004. It aspires to treat all wastewater from its manufacturing processes and return it to the environment. Coca Cola has achieved 93% alignment with its stringent standards, which translates into releasing 164 billion liters of treated wastewater. It would also like to return to nature and to communities an amount of water equal to what it uses in its finished beverages and production. In 2010 Coca Cola estimated that it replenished 23 percent of the water used. Coca Cola understands that, “As demand for...

The Link Between Competitive Advantage & Corporate Social Responsibility

...The Link Between Competitive Advantage & Corporate Social Responsibility | Business and Society | | There is currently growing interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) among both companies and managers. It has become an important topic of theoretical concentration and one of the most widely accepted business concepts. The major issues in the field of CSR concern stakeholder analysis and corporate strategic management. Numerous attempts have been made to link CSR and financial performance. While the debate over CSR continues, it reveals that some additional research can be done on the link between CSR and competitive advantage (CA). CSR is understood to be the way firms integrate social, environmental, and economic concerns into their values, culture, decision making, strategy, and operations in a transparent and accountable manner (Berger, 2007). Thereby firms establish better practices within, create wealth, and improve society (Berger, 2007). CSR programs go beyond legal and ethical frameworks to include a wide range of issues for the organization (Berger, 2007). Specifically, CSR programs can impact a wide range of issues managed by the organization including: corporate governance and ethics programs; health, safety, and environment programs; attention to human and labor rights; human resource management policies; community involvement; respect for indigenous groups and minorities; corporate philanthropy and employee volunteering; adherence to principles...

Coca-Cola India Case for Mob

...Coca-Cola India On August 20, 2003 Sanjiv Gupta, President and CEO of Coca-Cola India, sat in his office contemplating the events of the last two weeks and debating his next move. Sales had dropped by 30-40%1 in only two weeks. On August 5th, The Center for Science and Environment (CSE), an activist group in India focused on environmental sustainability issues (specifically the effects of industrialization and economic growth) issued a press release stating: "12 major cold drink brands sold in and around Delhi contain a deadly cocktail of pesticide residues" (See Exhibit 1). According to tests conducted by the Pollution Monitoring Laboratory (PML) of the CSE from April to August, three samples of twelve PepsiCo and Coca-Cola brands from across the city were found to contain pesticide residues surpassing global standards by 30-36 times including lindane, DDT, malathion and chlorpyrifos (See Exhibit 2). These four pesticides were known to cause cancer, damage to the nervous and reproductive systems, birth defects, and severe disruption of the immune system. After this incidence the brand image of Coca Cola was tarnished and people started avoiding coca cola consumption. Since 2003 following the various allegations and issues such as presence of pesticide residues in its beverages and water resource contamination issues that the soft drink giant faced in India, their community-focused initiatives were further accelerated. To address these issues and to rebuild its tarnished...

Globalization

...* Coca cola needs to handle CSR issues globally not just domestically. * Promoting CSR overseas * Empowering Girls and Women Globally through Education * Collaboration between Coca-Cola and the US Government to support a set of school lunch programs Coca Cola is the leading international seller of fruit juice. As the world becomes more health conscious sales of soft drinks have declined (by1 to 2% annually since 2013). Also, the two largest bottled beverage companies of the world, Coca Cola and Pepsi Co are experiencing growth in consumption outside of the United States, where as sales in the USA are falling (this is true for many industries as emerging markets globally in Africa South And Southeast Asia, and South America are now demanding more and more “value added” shelf products, such as bottled or ready juices. Cocoa-cola’s sales overseas are growing at an average of 1% while falling at an average of 2% domestically (Ted Cooper, NYT, 2011.) So why should coca cola just work on CSR issues domestically and not put a big emphasis on emerging markets for their philanthropic work? And as the largest juice producer/bottler in the world, why should Coca-Cola not take steps toward promoting CSR overseas using this particular leadership in the market? We suggest a CSR plan that focuses on one of our own Department of State’s and our President’s primary international initiatives – Empowering Girls and Women Globally through Education – a Program through the Department...

Case Study on Coccola

...Coca - Cola: Case study This case is about Coca-Cola's corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in India. It details the activities taken up by Coca-Cola India's management and employees to contribute to the society and community in which the company operates. Coca-Cola India being one of the largest beverage companies in India, realized that CSR had to be an integral part of its corporate agenda. According to the company, it was aware of the environmental, social, and economic impact caused by a business of its scale and therefore it had decided to implement a wide range of initiatives to improve the quality of life of its customers, the workforce, and society at large. However, the company came in for severe criticism from activists and environmental experts who charged it with depleting groundwater resources in the areas in which its bottling plants were located, thereby affecting the livelihood of poor farmers, dumping toxic and hazardous waste materials near its bottling facilities, and discharging waste water into the agricultural lands of farmers. Moreover, its allegedly unethical business practices in developing countries led to its becoming one of the most boycotted companies in the world.  Not with standing the criticisms, the company continued to champion various initiatives such as rainwater harvesting, restoring groundwater resources, and going in for sustainable packaging and recycling, and serving the communities where it operated.

Coca Cola in India

...Coca-Cola in India Coca-Cola is a brand name known throughout the entire world. It covers 60 percent of the $1.6 billion soft drink market. In 2006–2007, Coca-Cola faced some difficult challenges in the region of Kerala, India. The company was accused of using water that contained pesticides in its bottling plants in Kerala. An environmental group, the Center for Science and Environment (CSE), found 57 bottles of Coke and Pepsi products from 12 Indian states that contained unsafe levels of pesticides. The Kerala minister of health, Karnataka R. Ashok, imposed a ban on the manufacture and sale of Coca-Cola products in the region. Coca-Cola then arranged to have its drinks tested in a British lab, and the report found that the amount of pesticides found in Pepsi and Coca-Cola drinks was harmless to the body. Coca-Cola then ran numerous ads to regain consumers’ confidence in its products and brand. However, these efforts did not satisfy the environmental groups or the minister of health. India’s Changing Marketplace During the 1960s and 1970s, India’s economy faced many challenges, growing only an average of 3–3.5 percent per year. Numerous obstacles hindered foreign companies from investing in India, and many restrictions on eco-nomic activity caused huge difficulties for Indian firms and a lack of interest among foreign investors. For many years the government had problems with implementing reform and overcoming bureaucratic and political divi-sions. Business...

Coca-Cola

...Coca-Cola: A journey over 120 years old 04 Feb 2009 By Sarimul Islam Choudhury  ‘Little drops of joy’ as they call it, soft drink and beverages brand Coca-Cola came into existence in 1886 in Atlanta, New York, USA. From selling only nine glasses of drinks a day initially, after a successful stint of operation for over 120 years, the company currently produces more than 10 billion gallons of drink a day and sells its products across 200 countries worldwide. With more than 450 brands, the company is one of the largest beverage companies in the world keeping the language of refreshment universal across the globe.  The product comes into existence: It was1886 in New York Harbor when the construction of the Statue of Liberty was in progress, John Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta, was intrigued by a fragrant caramel-coloured liquid. He carried it a few doors down to Jacobs' Pharmacy where the mixture was combined with carbonated water and sampled by customers who all agreed — that this new drink was something special. Jacobs' Pharmacy then put it on sale for five cents a glass. Later, Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank Robinson, named the mixture Coca-Cola and wrote it out in a distinct script, the same way it is in use these days. According to the company: “Quality is more than what we taste or see or measure. It shows in our every action. We relentlessly strive to exceed the world's ever-changing expectations because keeping our quality promise in the marketplace is our highest...
