Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Chur, Veranstaltung: Corporate Social Responsibility, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The following memorandum is written to provide the UEFA with social responsibility suggestions concerning the environment.

Furthermore, the urgency and impact of climate change deteriorates with almost every newly released environmental report and the world requires pioneers to take a leading role in fighting this problem.

The memorandum will be divided up into five sections. First, some background information on the problem will be provided before issues arising from the problem will be discussed. The third section will state several options to tackle the problem while the fourth section identifies the stakeholders and their stakes in the problem. The final section will provide UEFA with clear recommendations about what climate change programs to undertake and when to undertake them all based on the analysis of the previous sections. [...]
