If you are just getting started with CSR, this article will help you understand why CSR is just not for the world but your business as well, and later give you ideas of the best CSR activities for your business.

Let’s do this!

Best Corporate Social Responsibility Examples

When a firm goes above, and beyond the social responsibility expectations of the clients, they are engaging in CSR. Did you note that? It’s pretty important.

A company cannot too their horns for simply practicing human rights or practicing good environmental practices. That is just following the law. However, brands go past this andpractice exemplary CSR initiatives. Socially responsible companies are more concern about the impact of their business in society than financial matters.

Here are the most common examples of corporate social responsibility:

+    Making social and environmental conscious investments.

+    Decreasing carbon footprints and climate change

+    Adjusting corporate policies for environmental benefits

+    Engaging in charity and volunteer activities within your community

+    Improving labor policies and embrace fair trade

Engage in charitable giving and volunteer

The pharmaceutical company Pfizer writes a list of organizations that give. They provide care for women and children with poor living conditions and raise awareness for non-infectious illnesses.

The firm’s humanitarian activities include donating multi-dose vials of its vaccine Prevenar 13 at a discounted rate.

Financial giant Wells Fargo is committed to fulfilling its goal of donating 1.5% of its annual revenue for charitable courses such as NeighborWorks. Besides the huge financial gesture, Wells Fargo workers are given two paid off days a year to volunteer; a trend that is rapidly growing in organizations. 50% of the Fortune’s 100 Best Companies are
giving paid leaves to encourage their employees to grow their community. Encouraging your employees to participate in CSR activities is a good way of strengthening your corporate citizenship.

Change corporate policies to benefit the environment

Hydrofluorocarbons (a chemical coolant commonly used in cold-storage facilities) is one of the leading prevalent greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. This is why Target committed itself to use ammonia to moderate temperature instead. Also, the Cleaning Product Company Method creates sustainable products by using plastics collected from the ocean to package their hand soap and dish. Their motto is “being tough on the dirt and kind to the planet.” It stays true to its motto in other different ways too. Method powers its production plants using solar and makes its soap as eco-friendly as possible.

These are some way socially responsible companies can help the environment;

+    Reduce your paper waste

+    Distribution of recycling bins throughout the organization

+    Making environmentally and socially conscious investments.

+    Have an annual tree-planting event

+    Reduce the negative impact of commuter traffic by permitting remote work.

+    Replace incandescent light bulbs with energy-saving LED bulbs.

A lithium-ion battery is an improved battery which uses lithium ions as a primary component of its electrochemistry. In the discharge process, Lithium atoms in the anode are ionized and separated from the electrons. The lithium ions move from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte and recombine with the electrons leading to electrical neutralization. The Lithium ions are tiny enough to pass through the micro-permeable that stands between the anode and cathode. Thanks to the small size of lithium ion, the Li-ion batteries can hold a very high voltage and storage per unit mass and unit volume. Lithium-ion batteries have a variety of materials that they can use as electrodes. The most common one include lithium cobalt oxide (cathode) and graphite (anode), commonly used in laptops and cellphones. For electric cars and hybrid electrics, the most common cathodes are lithium manganese oxide and lithium iron phosphate. Li-ion batteries use ether as their electrolyte. How long does a li-ion battery last? Lithium-ion batteries are costly, and for those using electric cars and motorcycles, they typically make the largest costs of the gadgets. It, therefore, makes sense if you want your battery to last for a long time. The first step of knowing how to increase the life of your lithium ion battery is to know why they die. Well, during the charge and discharge cycle, small parasitic reactions happen between the electrolyte and electrodes using a lithium-ion battery cell, which after some time reduces the amount of energy the cell can store as well as its output. What causes these parasitic reactions to kill lithium-ion batteries? There are two main factors that lead to the quick death of your lithium-ion battery. The two include; High temperatures High Charge level (increased time at high voltages)   High temperatures intensify the parasitic reactions that occur in the electrolyte of the lithium ion battery. On the other  hand, the high charges lead to a high performance of the battery for the first few cycles, and then a crash in the performance of the cell and a decline in performance. Fortunately, with simple steps, the life of the batteries can be prolonged. How to make Li-ion batteries last longer The first thing you have to do is see that your battery does not get hot. Many electric vehicles have taken this factor under consideration and installed a cooling system. However, some electric cars still depend on a passive cooling system. Luckily, you have control of the bigger issue, which is the heat that occurs during the charging process. Even for the advanced cars with an active cooling system, during charging the battery can get pretty overheated, especially during super-charging. Supercharging is a big plus when you are in a hurry to hit the road, but it may not serve your battery life well in the long run, especially when done repeatedly. To increase the life of your battery, create time, and charge it at a lower heat. A long-slow charge overnight is way better than a quick charge over the tea break or lunch hour. Next, try and charge the battery when it is at lower levels. As much as you want it to be at a constant 100%; it may not be doing it any good. Charge at a lower heat, especially when you are taking long breaks. Most individuals do not use the entire battery pack capacity every day, and yet they charge it to 100% every day. What you don’t know is that charging your battery to 80% can double the life of Li-ion battery life. It is worthwhile to note that the damage of high charge happens when the battery rests at high levels charge for a long time; many people are surprised on hearing this and swear that they always to have their battery at 100% all the time! However, 100% in small doses does not cause any harm. If you are planning on a long trip and you will be traveling shortly after the trip, then that is applicable. On the other hand, if you are planning to take a break for a while, then charging the battery to 60-80% is much healthier. Does this apply to all lithium batteries? Although LiFePO4 batteries are not much affected by high charge like the lithium-ion, the rule applies to all electric batteries. This includes your electric car batteries, cell-phone, and even something as small as your electric toothbrush. One Professor Dahn jokes about the importance of cooling saying you might as well consider storing your laptop in the fridge if you are serious about the life of your lithium-ion battery. For the most part, the simple requirements to keep your lithium-ion batteries alive can be easily applied.  Avoid supercharging your electric cars unless it’s imperative. Park your electric bike in the shade. Stop leaving your phone and laptop in the sun or hot car. Most importantly try as much as possible to avoid charging your lithium-ion battery to 100%. Advantages and disadvantages of lithium-ion battery It is vital to learn both the advantages and disadvantages of lithium-ion batteries to grasp their level of importance fully;   General Advantages of lithium-ion battery 1.Smaller and lighter. Lithium-ion batteries are lighter compared to the capacities of other batteries. This is therefore practical to consumers whose  weight is a factor. 2.High energy density. Unlike other batteries, lithium-ion batteries have a very high energy density. This simply transforms into the ability to hold a lot of energy without it reflecting its bulkiness. Advancements in technology such as in electric cars have shown more potential for higher capacities. 3.Lower-self discharge. The self-discharge of lithium-ion batteries is 1.5% per month, which is relatively low compared to other batteries. This means it has a longer shelf life when not in use. 4.Zero to low memory effect. The lithium-ion battery has a minimum to zero effect when it comes to the memory effect. This is common in rechargeable batteries where they lose maximum energy capacity when repeatedly charged after being partially discharged. This

There are two main factors that lead to the quick death of your lithium-ion battery. The two include;

  • High temperatures
  • High Charge level (increased time at high voltages)

 

High temperatures intensify the parasitic reactions that occur in the electrolyte of the lithium ion battery.

On the other  hand, the high charges lead to a high performance of the battery for the first few cycles, and then a crash in the performance of the cell and a decline in performance.

Fortunately, with simple steps, the life of the batteries can be prolonged.

How to make Li-ion batteries last longer

The first thing you have to do is see that your battery does not get hot. Many electric vehicles have taken this factor under consideration and installed a cooling system. However, some electric cars still depend on a passive cooling system.

Luckily, you have control of the bigger issue, which is the heat that occurs during the charging process. Even for the advanced cars with an active cooling system, during charging the battery can get pretty overheated, especially during super-charging.

Supercharging is a big plus when you are in a hurry to hit the road, but it may not serve your battery life well in the long run, especially when done repeatedly.

To increase the life of your battery, create time, and charge it at a lower heat. A long-slow charge overnight is way better than a quick charge over the tea break or lunch hour.

Next, try and charge the battery when it is at lower levels. As much as you want it to be at a constant 100%; it may not be doing it any good. Charge at a lower heat, especially when you are taking long breaks.

Most individuals do not use the entire battery pack capacity every day, and yet they charge it to 100% every day.

What you don’t know is that charging your battery to 80% can double the life of Li-ion battery life.

It is worthwhile to note that the damage of high charge happens when the battery rests at high levels charge for a long time; many people are surprised on hearing this and swear that they always to have their battery at 100% all the time!

However, 100% in small doses does not cause any harm. If you are planning on a long trip and you will be traveling shortly after the trip, then that is applicable. On the other hand, if you are planning to take a break for a while, then charging the battery to 60-80% is much healthier.

Does this apply to all lithium batteries?

Although LiFePO4 batteries are not much affected by high charge like the lithium-ion, the rule applies to all electric batteries. This includes your electric car batteries, cell-phone, and even something as small as your electric toothbrush.

One Professor Dahn jokes about the importance of cooling saying you might as well consider storing your laptop in the fridge if you are serious about the life of your lithium-ion battery.

For the most part, the simple requirements to keep your lithium-ion batteries alive can be easily applied.  Avoid supercharging your electric cars unless it’s imperative. Park your electric bike in the shade. Stop leaving your phone and laptop in the sun or hot car. Most importantly try as much as possible to avoid charging your lithium-ion battery to 100%.

Advantages and disadvantages of lithium-ion battery

It is vital to learn both the advantages and disadvantages of lithium-ion batteries to grasp their level of importance fully;

 

General Advantages of lithium-ion battery

1.Smaller and lighter. Lithium-ion batteries are lighter compared to the capacities of other batteries. This is therefore practical to consumers whose  weight is a factor.

2.High energy density. Unlike other batteries, lithium-ion batteries have a very high energy density. This simply transforms into the ability to hold a lot of energy without it reflecting its bulkiness. Advancements in technology such as in electric cars have shown more potential for higher capacities.

3.Lower-self discharge. The self-discharge of lithium-ion batteries is 1.5% per month, which is relatively low compared to other batteries. This means it has a longer shelf life when not in use.

4.Zero to low memory effect. The lithium-ion battery has a minimum to zero effect when it comes to the memory effect. This is common in rechargeable batteries where they lose maximum energy capacity when repeatedly charged after being partially discharged. This problem is common in nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries such as NiMH and NiCd.

5.Quick charging. A li-ion battery is quick to charge compared to other batteries; it literally takes a fraction of the time its counterpart takes to charge.

6.High open-circuit voltage. The chemistry of the lithium-ion battery results in higher open-circuit voltage compared to aqueous batteries such as nickel-metal hydride, lead-acid, and nickel-cadmium.

7.Longer Lifespan. The li-on battery can typically handle hundreds of charge-discharge cycles. Some lithium-ion batteries lose 30% of their capacity after 1000 cycles, while other advanced batteries will go for more than 5000 cycles.

 

Disadvantages of the Lithium-ion batteries

This is some of the challenges you are likely to face when using Li-ion batteries;

1.It is costly. The cost of production of the lithium-ion battery is 40% more than the other batteries. This is because it requires an onboard computer to control the circuitry making it more expensive.

2.Sensitivity to high temperature. As mentioned earlier, high temperatures are one of the main causes of high-degradation of the li-ion batteries.

3.Aging effect. This is because of its normal degradation, whether they are on the use or not. Storing the devices with 40% can, however, reduce the aging effect.

4.Deep discharge. The general integrity of the li-ion battery remains intact even after discharging effects. However, deep discharge or a drop in the voltage of the li-ion battery can make it unusable.

5.Safety concerns.  Li-ion batteries may explode when overheated or short circuits.

Wrapping up on Li-ion Batteries

Technology is growing in all dimensions, including the transport industry. The innovation of the lithium-ion battery has given light to the dream of electric cars.

The shift has led to a better environment with low pollution, not to forget the convenience and comfort that comes with electric cars.

Powerful Corporate Social Responsibility Examples

Target Corporate Social Responsibility

“Good corporate citizens” sounds just like a term or idea in real life. Well, big companies engage in philanthropic work once in a while, but that sounds a bit highbrow. However, Target will change your perspective.  Target is more than the best stop of milk and tires but a good example of corporate social responsibility.

Since 1946, Target has been volunteering to support environmental community activities, in which they have stores. They have grown sustainable practices on educational programs that have accrued to 5% of their total revenues. That amounts to $4 million every week in the education department. Target has donated more than $875 million since 2010.

Your company may not afford $4 million every week, but you have employees who you can let volunteer weekly for good courses in the community; the returns are great.

Google CSR

Google is the biggest search engine, and being a big corporation, they are leading in good citizenship. It is clear that their efforts in good corporate social responsibility have been paying off over the years. For instance, Google Green is a CSR program that helps use resources efficiently and use renewable energy. The efforts have had an overall positive impact globally. As a result of the CSR initiative, Google has seen an overall drop in their power usage in its data centers. These savings can be used for other improvements or needs in the business.

Starbucks CSR

C.A.F.E. Practices as Starbucks refers to their CSR program is an acronym for Coffee and Farmer Equity.

C.A.F.E is a set of buying guidelines stating and ensuring that;

  • All coffee they buy reaches their standards
  • The coffee is sustainably grown
  • Employees have human and safe working conditions and have adequate living conditions.

Support the farmers. Starbucks ensures that farmers get fair pay by demanding to see the receipts of the supply chain to know how much the coffee farmers received.

Amazon Corporate Social Responsibility

Over the decades, Amazon has been committed to creating ambitious goals on making their voice heard in environmental policies and showcasing their ability in technology to drive innovation and boost the world’s efforts to move in the right direction.

Kara Hurst, the newly appointed head of Amazon Sustainability and CEO of The Sustainability Consortium, says that they believe in the purchase of power to create more opportunities. This explains why there are working on powering their global infrastructure using 100% renewable energy. They also have their largest wind farm in Texas which contributes more than 1 million megawatt hours (MWh) natural energy.

Other Successful Initiatives Include;

Ford Motor Company

Ford is also working towards the improvement of their environmental performance. They have developed an EcoBoost engine to increase fuel proficiency in an attempt to curb their GHG emissions.

They are also aiming at offering 13 electric fuel car models by 2020. Also, American Ford dealerships, are using solar PV systems and wind sail as their main power source.

Dell

Dell Company has not been left behind in this race. The company is now transporting their laptops using less wasteful containers made of eco-friendly materials.

TOMS

TOMS’ admirable business model of donating one pair of shoes to a needy person for every bought pair of shoes, is by far one of the best in the industry. Well, they have set the bar quite high because, besides this kind gesture, they also partner with NGOs (non-governmental organizations) and multiple non-profit organizations to demonstrate ethical behavior.

As if that is not enough, TOMS also provides clean drinking water, create a businesses in developing nations to fight bullying, and help visually-impaired individuals restore their sight.

Final Word

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the code that challenges organizations to go beyond their comfort zone, to ensure they affect the community positively.

Gone are the times when consumers only worried about quality products; today they are aware of the company’s beliefs and environmental impact of firms in the society.

In fact, most of the clients will consider it as a leading factor when choosing who to shop with.

However, there is no reason as to why companies should hesitate in engaging in CSR because they enjoy benefits such as;

  • Customer engagement
  • Employee engagement
  • Long-term sustainability
  • Increased brand awareness
  • Innovation
  • Cost savings
  • Protection from scandals

  • Mainly, the process is still direct recovery but not the various sub-processes also include smelting as a process to recover the material.
  • The process is also advisable because it accepts all kinds of batteries while smelting can only be done for highly complex batteries.
  • It also gives the direct recovery process to take in the complex batteries while direct recovery usually works with simpler battery models.

Batteries and Recycling Potential:

Any conventional enterprise will tell you that battery recycling should be considered compulsory so that we could all contribute to environmental protection.

We are all for that, don’t get us wrong. But here is another reason for you to send your batteries for recycling.

Recycling batteries is a proper industry and even just a nice little collection of AA batteries will get you a decent pocket change.

As the Electric Battery Vehicle Specifications increases so do the profit you can gain from recycling the batteries. You will not earn in hundreds but a decent ten dollars for a car battery is not too bad.

Electric cars are not too common in the US. The Electric Vehicle Battery recycling system is not too efficient in the country either.

There are not many recyclable electric batteries available in the market. The infrastructure for recycling these batteries is also pretty limited at this time.

Hybrid cars are an ever-growing trend, the hope is strong that the market for recycling these batteries will also expand with the passing time.

One Note:

We have kept our post considerably pragmatic but we want to admit here that batteries for electric cars are extremely hazardous to environments as well as human and animal life.

Lithium based batteries are severely toxic to individuals around if it decomposes. It truly is prudent to be a decent human being and dispose of the electric batteries in the right way through recycling.

Recycling of batteries is considered a highly lucrative market because the recovered chemicals, metals and other elements are exceptionally high in quality and sell in the market for high prices.

These recyclable batteries are bought at virtually no prices at all but the salvaged material is sold at comparatively exorbitant prices.

So here is our basic overview of the hybrid engines and how Electric Vehicle Battery operate. We have developed this post so that you will know and understand the hybrid engines thoroughly and make smart choices.

We wish you luck!
