The case handles the predicaments of corporate social responsibility(CSR) and sustainability in the particular setting of a medium-sized business (Host Europe) in the IT market. Host Europe is the 3rd biggest web hosting company in German-speaking Europe.
Host Europe has actually currently carried out a couple of procedures, such as constructing a brand-new energy-efficient green information center, changing to sustainable energy, promoting virtualization, presenting numerous work environment procedures, pursuing efforts to enhance household friendliness, and releasing a sustainability report. There are still some obstacles ahead and students are asked to believe about additional efforts of Host Europe to finish its course to ending up being a sustainable and accountable medium-sized IT company.The case can either be utilized as an initial case for CSR in medium-sized companies and sustainability in the IT market, or in advanced-level CSR and sustainability courses. Given that Host Europe is not accredited according to social or ecological requirements yet, students might come up with a comprehensive and tailored strategy on how to execute such a management system for the company.
