that your reader does not know the company. (e.g., just mentioning McDonald is and talking
about the themes will lose mark.)

“I like this company” is not acceptable. You must provide logical reasoning.

• o Enterprise Policies
• Teams should describe the policies of the ALL themes in enterprise of their

company’s website on their policies will result in mark reduction. The goal is for
you group to read the policies and put them in your OWN WORDS.
Example: Walmart “Conflict Minerals Policy” which indicates that products
containing tantalum, tungsten or gold mined from Democratic Republic of the
Congo should be reported if the mining company supports human rights violation.

o Enterprise Practices
• Teams should describe the practices of all the themes in enterprise of their choice.
Please do not just list ideas; you have to SUPPORT how your chosen company
practices by providing specific cases.
Example: Walmart is dedicated to upholding ethical behaviours and
human rights. Therefore, this company has the “conflict Minerals Policy”
(Walmart,
n.d.) in place in which they asked X company to indicate the production of
item Y containing tantalum (Cite). In doing so, Walmart as an ethical
enterprise, is trying to make sure that no humans’ rights violation has
accrued during the production of item Y. (This is not a real case, just a
hypothetical
example)
