This document discusses the impacts and responsibilities of globalization. It explores how globalization has led to inequalities in wages between countries, with workers in developing nations earning significantly less than those in developed nations. It also examines impacts on employment, health, the environment, and species extinction. While governments and international organizations have some responsibilities, the document argues that companies have significant power and should embrace corporate social responsibility initiatives. Such initiatives can benefit companies through improved reputation in consumer and labor markets while also doing social good. Examples of CSR projects from companies are provided.
