Worldwide Perspectives on CER
The majority of international CSR studies focus on business practices and its aspects, such as business economics and the legality of environmental law. Most companies are noticing the importance of taking into account one of its most important stakeholders: employees and customers and their commitment to sustainability. Studies have demonstrated that once companies place sustainability practices they can be directly linked to financial success and customer satisfaction, which in turn can be used as a marketing tool. Although every country has a different culture, and each country determines their own scale of environmental responsibility, research has shown that there is a standard global human values that drive customer needs and wants. Companies have taken initiatives to take sustainability and align it with each company's economic goals. Managers and other people at the top, play the key role in decision-making and implementing the firm's sustainability practices.

Benefits of Corporate Environmental Responsibility
Corporate social responsibility can prove to be more profitable for companies and to extend it survivability in markets because greater awareness on this topic, in both social and business markets, has been in higher demand. Customers have responded with overall satisfaction and loyalty when companies have a better CSR, especially in countries like Spain and Brazil. Culture has an impact on the CSR ratings and studies, as well as human values across different nations.

This topic can also be found under sustainable development. This area is concerned with not only protecting the environment but maintaining economical growth. There were several agreements internationally to help adopt new business practices that held these standards, but they were considered individual and there was no law-abiding body to regulate nor implement them.

One of the other factors that is considered an integral part of sustainable development are human beings, and specific groups and their habitat. Counties and companies that more developed would lead, and other small countries and business would slowly make gains. It is important to recognize that just because corporate environmental responsibility is being recognized that consumption is something that is not discouraged.

The idea of corporate environmental responsibility (CER) is for humans to be more aware of the environmental impact and counteract their pollution/carbon footprint on the natural resources. One of the main factors is to reduce carbon footprint and carbon emissions. Many of the studies focus on trying to find a balance between economic growth and reducing waste and cleaner environments.

Article Evaluation
One of the reasons why I chose this topic is because it involves both business ethics and corporate responsibility. It needs work, the article is noted as a "C" article which has a lot of room for improvement. It is also suggested that a "sustainability" aspect is also introduced. Possible research topics can range from the environment, corporate waste and the environment, and regulations from local and federal governments, and ethical components. There are only 4 references in the article (where one is mentioned twice), some of these could use improvement. One of the articles, citation 1, clearly states that it is "adding" to the bigger conversation and needs more research. Second citation is based from Swedish research, I could add either more countries or a US perspective. 3. The third one also references European standards of sustainability and corporate ethical responsibility, a more global perspective needs to be added. Some of these articles are a little dated (there is one from 2003) and the latest one is from 2016, therefore a more recent one may be found.
