Ethics in Action $3\mathrm{.}4.$ Why the CSR$/$ESG Rankings and Ratings for

Companies?

Compare the companies at the top and bottom in the consumer rankings $(3\mathrm{.}4$

and $3\mathrm{.}5)$ lists. Think about the following questions:

Why are the lists so different? What explains the completely different

results? Are there any companies that cross the lists? Think about this

question to help you: What is being measured that makes the

companies good or bad?

Pick two companies from the top and the bottom of each list as well as

from the third$-$party rankings. Research those companies that give a

list of reasons for their rankings as well as the wide variations in their

rankings.
