Marketing
ethics
Social
marketing
Social
marketing is the use of marketing techniques to convince people to
change their
behaviour for their own good or for the benefit of
society. Encouraging smokers to stop
smoking or persuading
people to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables are examples. The
aim
of social marketing is to minimize social problems such as crime or
poverty.
Corporate
social responsibility (CSR)
The
advantages for a company of being socially responsible — that is,
taking positive
actions for the benefit of its staff and
society as a whole — include enhanced brand image,
and greater
ease in attracting staff. There are different ways for a company to
show
corporate social responsibility (CSR).
-
Cause
related marketing (CRM) is when a company donates money to a
charity, anon-profit organization or a good cause, such as
UNICEF or Oxfam. The brand is thenassociated with the
charity. For example, a US non-profit wild cat sanctuary, Big
CatRescue, wants to create a marketing partnership with
another organization:
Big
Cat Rescue is looking for the right corporate
partner for
a mutually
beneficial
cause
related marketing campaign. We need financial donations
to
be
able to afford to make our good work more effective. Today
most of this funding
comes
from private individuals. We are looking for a corporate partner
that
shares
our principles and values.
Note:
The
abbreviation CRM
also
refers to Customer Relationship Management — see Unit 23.
-
Green
marketing is the development and distribution of eco-friendly, or
environmentallyfriendly, goods — for example, washing powder
that is not harmful to the environment.
6
degrees.ca is a Canadian web-based forum that promotes green
marketing and environmental
protection:
6
degrees.ca believes that if a business is behaving in an ethical
or
moral way then
they will contribute to environmental
sustainability. Sustainable development is
development
that meets the needs of today without compromising the ability of
future
generations to meet their needs. Responsible citizens
are aware of environmental
concerns
such
as global warming, and act to protect
the environment.
Responsible
purchasing is another way that a company can build or maintain a
good
reputation. Companies can refuse to buy materials or goods
made using child labour
or that have been tested on animals. As
well as showing concern for human rights and
animal testing, a
company can implement a policy of sustainable purchasing and only
buy
products that come from renewable sources.
