Discuss the range of ethical/CSR issues and unique challenges that your company faces. Identify your company’s stakeholders and their varying interests. Discuss how your company goes about managing ethical issues, CSR activities, and stakeholder interests in practice. 

Please provide examples for each to illustrate your points. Create a short position statement for the management of your company outlining your overall CSR strategy.
