    Nestle has several drawbacks in its CSR policy, including denying water access to its own workers, illegal mass dismissals during crises, restricting union rights, paying unfair wages, excessive working hours, and interfering in union elections. Tata Steel does not fully comply with environmental standards and was involved in an alleged intellectual property theft case. It also forcibly acquired land for a new plant causing dislocation. ITC remains highly dependent on tobacco revenues, which accounts for the majority of its profits, raising ethical issues around using CSR to promote tobacco products.

    Corporate Social Responsibility in NESTLE,

    TATA, ITC

    Drawbacks in CSR Policy of Nestle:

    It is most essential that above all the mentioned activities that a company reports as
    contribution to the society , proper check of implementation is taken care of regarding the
    working, policies, product, etc. of the company. The major drawbacks of this company which
    violates the rule of CSR are:
     Nestle believes that water is the lifeline for the people of the society and yet Nestlé’s
    water workers were denied the right to water.
     Nestle’s response to crisis situation by instant closure of factories and mass
    redundancies which can also be seen as illegal mass dismissals.
     Restricting trade union rights through fake supervisors.
     Discrimination through unfair wages.
     The company is believed to be falsely claiming “global policy” as the reason for not
    negotiating with the unions.
     It has been exploiting developing countries for many years by lying about global policy
    on shift patterns.
     Excessive working hours in violation of the law.
     Interfering in trade union elections.
     Coercing workers to stop the registration of a union.
     Refusing the basic right to negotiate wages.
     Banning the basic right to freedom of assembly.
     Nestle is now a serial offender when it comes to violating international conventions and
    guidelines.
     Also the most recent case of MAGGI in India has violated the role of CSR to the society
    by compromising with the health of its customers.

    Drawbacks in CSR policy of TATA:

     Tata Steel is the second biggest steel manufacturer in Europe and has its main
    steelmaking plants in the UK and Holland. It supplies steel and associated services to
    major businesses, such as real estate constructors, vehicle manufacturer and packaging.
    The European processes are a subsidiary of Tata Steel Group, one of the world’s top ten
    steel manufacturers. There are 80 thousand employees working in this system. There
    are certain laws which the group has to follow. To avoid this, it has put the systems in
    place to meet into the international standards for environmental management such as
    ISO14001. But it has not yet come into the effect.
     Also it is not working with full transparency as it has been seen that TCS has allegedly
    stolen the health software from an American company, Epic Systems, for which
    Wisconsin federal has charged $940 million penalty( in April 2016).
     The unethical case has been reported, in which the land of Singur farmers is being
    overtaken by TATA group for its installation of new Nano factory plant. This led to large
    amount of dislocation to local people. Upon discussion it was suggested to shift to
    Gujarat.
     Indica, the TATA product is also under the conflict of creating pollution as well as a
    weird noise pollution as mentioned in the case study.

    Drawbacks in CSR policy of ITC

     The main product of the ITC is tobacco. ITC refers to Imperial Tobacco Company of India
    Limited. It is fascinating that a business that is now so involved in branding continues to
    use its original name, despite the deleterious relationship of tobacco with poor health
    and untimely death.
     For the financial sustainability of FMCG the group is still dependent on its tobacco
    revenues. Tobacco based products (Cigarettes) production covers around 47% of the
    total turnover of the company and contributes 80% to the profit of the company. Thus it
    can be said that that ITC is subsidizing other FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) from
    the money earning from the tobacco product which is unethical.
     ITC can be seen as using the CSR as an advertisement for the selling of its goods. The
    consumer buys its product classmate because companies say that on every purchase
    company will contribute a specific amount for welfare. It is actually impacting the mind
    of the buyer and even if the buyer has an option which is cheaper than the classmate
    than also he is buying the classmate. The question arises here whether the company is
    paying for the welfare or the customer.
