Google is mainly famous for its environmentally friendly initiative; that is, Google products do not in any way pollute the environment. Additionally, the company’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, is usually outspoken and always against social issues like anti-Muslim comments made by President Donald Trump. Google has various policies and programs aimed at addressing the interests of all groups of stakeholders. The philosophy of the company “focus on the user and everything else will follow” has enabled them to produce useful and popular products that benefit customers, users, and investors, thus making the business to enjoy profitability. Moreover, the company’s philosophy “you can make money without doing evil” has ensured that Google focuses on CSR activities that benefit the community (Bauer, 2014).
CSR efforts by Google to the community include charity programs through Google.org. This program has provided more than $100 million in investments and grants. Google.org focuses on addressing global poverty, global public health, and climate change. The company also ensures ethics and international environmental standards in its Supplier Code of Conduct. All these measures have a direct relationship with the company’s philosophy that states one can make money without evil ways. One of the stakeholders in Google is the community. The community benefits from the company either directly or indirectly. Theoretically, the community can benefit from the nearby firm through philanthropy, charity programs, and related activities. The community is an essential stakeholder in business, mainly because it influences the perception of the customer and responds to Google’s products. Apart from the community, Google company has numerous other stakeholder groups such as users, governments, investors, advertisers, and other customers, and employees. The company makes sure that many of its CSR programs are directed towards these groups (Bauer, 2014).
If I were to share this information on social media, I would encourage students to ask for free educational materials from Google. This will go a long way to help them in their studies and consequently enhance their performance. I would also ask the youths and teenagers to seek free educational materials from Google sites and pages in order to act as a guide in life, especially in social issues such as the use of drugs, sexuality, gender inequality, and others. This can be done by writing messages and contacting Google Support.
