Week 6 Discussion Post 12 Document

The prospect of CSR and DEI initiatives is essential and prevalent in

today's corporate America. I would go as far as saying how unusual it

would be for a major company not to have these types of values in

mind. That said, let me address the following questions:

1.) What steps are you going to take to promote CSR initiatives? For

example: what community programs, nonprofits, or environmental

projects will the new product or service support?

2.) How do you plan to attract, develop, engage, and reward your

project team?

Question 1:) Here at Tesla, our CSR comes in the form of an ESG

report, which is the "Environmental, Social and Governance impact

report that discloses the impact our company has on those three

areas, as well as to presents to the extent possible, data and other

information qualifying and quantifying that impact" (Tesla, 2020).

Additionally, "each product we make must be continuously improved

at each step of its lifecycle: from manufacturing to consumer use to

recycling. We must also improve every metric, including the energy

and water used to make our products, how safe our customers and

employees are, and the affordability and accessibility of our products"

(Tesla, 2020). So essentially, we are taking and will continue taking

significant strides forward to ensure we adhere to CSR initiatives.

And we did not forget about DEI, which is outlined in our impact

report as well. As the report states:

"Tesla is on a mission to accelerate the world's transition to

sustainable energy. We focus relentlessly on innovation and rely on

teamwork and collaboration to help achieve this goal. Along the way,

we are continuing to build a culture that is safe, respectful, fair, and

inclusive for all of our employees" (Tesla, 2020).

Question 2:) We will attract, develop, engage, and reward our project

team by creating incentive programs, including raises, promotions,

bonuses, etc. Also, we will be firm in our recruitment efforts to ensure

we have the right people in place doing the job well. I must also add

that not to seem harsh, but we will also take immediate action up to

and including dismissal of those who abuse their authority, are not

serving the company well, and or fostering a cohesive project team

environment.
