These are synthetic, powerful greenhouse gasses that are emitted from a variety of industrial processes. These gases are typically emitted in smaller quantities, but because they are potent greenhouse gasses, they are sometimes referred to as High Global Warming Potential gasses ("High GWP gases"). Their lifetime in the atmosphere can be from 270 to 50 000 years. Examples of reduction opportunities for fluorinated gasses: ● Substitution of ozonedepleting substances in homes and businesses ● Industry ● Electricity transmission and distribution ● Transportation Each gas's effect on climate change depends on three main factors: ● How much is in the atmosphere? ● How long do they stay in the atmosphere? ● How long does their impact last? What is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)? Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a company's commitment and self-regulating model to manage the social, environmental and economic effects of its operations responsibly and in line with public expectations so the company becomes socially accountable to itself, its stakeholders, and the public. By practicing CSR, also called corporate citizenship, companies are conscious of the kind of impact they are having on all aspects of society, including economic, social, and environmental. CSR also refers to practices and policies undertaken by corporations that are intended to have a positive influence on the world. The key idea behind CSR is for corporations to pursue other pro-social objectives, in addition to maximizing profits. Examples of common CSR objectives include minimizing environmental externalities, promoting volunteerism among company employees, and donating to charity. The movement toward CSR has had an impact in several domains. For example, many companies have taken steps to improve the environmental sustainability of their operations, through measures such as installing renewable energy sources or purchasing carbon offsets. In managing supply chains, efforts have also been taken to eliminate reliance on unethical labor practices such as child labor. There are 2 types of CSR activities the company can follow to be following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of UN Agenda 2030: Internal CSR External CSR ● Efficient Management of Human Resources ● Occupational Health and Safety ● Donations to charities and local communities ● Limiting Noise and Air Pollution ● Business Partnerships in these activities ● Work only with Suppliers who practice CSR ● Responsible Supply Chain Management
