You are a CSR Advisor for a new start$-$up company that is looking to engage in one or more elements of corporate social responsibility and environmental sustainability. The founder of the company has tasked you with gathering detailed information about the corporate social responsibility and environmental sustainability initiatives that your top three rivals in your industry have adopted. In addition to your report on rivals$$ activities in corporate social responsibility and environmental sustainability initiatives, you will recommend three corporate social responsibility and environmental sustainability initiatives that are suitable for the business and align with your company$$s social purpose.

You are welcome to use your previous or current employer$($s$),$ or any organization of interest to you to conduct the review. Some preliminary research on your company of interest and its industry rivals is recommended.
