To conclude, we seek to settle and have a broader knowledge about what social responsibility with the environment is itself. Also have a greater understanding of how society can contribute efficiently to the environment.

As a starting point and for better compression for this essay, the concept of a social responsibility must be known. As well as what is immersed within it such as the types of social responsibility and social responsibility with the environment, as over time the concepts of the words have been transformed by giving a final result a more concrete conception.

Developing

The definition of social responsibility has been modified by several authors for a long time, however, it can be noted that social responsibility is:

Social responsibility helps young people to understand that their lives are intimately connected to the well -being of others, with the social and political world that is around them. Then, they make a difference in their daily life supported by their options and values, enriching our lives in the diverse cultures and races.

Thus they can participate creating a more fair, more peaceful and ecological sense of the world. (Berman, 1997, P. 202)

It can also be added that social responsibility is a commitment that members of a society must conserve in order to obtain a more just humanity and preserve compliance with social responsibility generates benefits for society which also generates positive aspects for the environment,companies or organizations, in the field of companies or organizations there is a high growth of their reputation which causes the creation of public confidence for workers and individuals that make up society, as a positive aspect for the environment allows the protection of the same.

Social responsibility can also be recognized as a need and obligation that individuals, members of a society or company have.

Social responsibility with the environment

Social responsibility covers many aspects but one of the most important and in which more attention must be taken is that of the environment, that is, the environment in which one lives. There is also the existence of the ecological crisis which has a close relationship with the financial crisis, which is why better attention to the environment must be presented in order to obtain neutral use of resources and obtain the reduction of environmental impacts.

There are 3 pathways in the responsibilities for the actions or effects related to the environment which are the following:

• Individual Social Responsibility: It is based on the acts of society either on a role of father, mother, sons and daughters, members of a community, members of a work team. Which to improve the life of humanity each person must become aware and contribute to the development of activities including reducing waste consuming responsibly, collaborating with volunteer projects, buying in solidarity stores, among others;with the aim of improving quality of life and responsibility with the environment.
• Public or government social responsibility: deals with the capacity of consultation that government organizations have in which the execution and design of public policies aimed at society is carried out, which is mostly specified in emissions of laws, decrees, decrees, decrees, decrees, decrees, decrees, decrees, decrees,regulations, among others. All this brings with it a great result directly over the natural and social environment of its jurisdiction.
• Business responsibility: also known by its acronym CSR is one aspect that every day society takes more into account, since it is a responsibility that the company acquires with society and decides to give it back in some way, with ecology, with the care of the workeror with institutions for this purpose.

A responsibility is not only based on the individual, public or governmental, business but also should be taken into account in all aspects by adding to this in a company in which the Coca-Cola case can be analyzed.

The Coca-Cola company is characterized by being known and consumed worldwide, which is why it makes one of the best-selling soft drinks in stores, restaurants and vending machines in more than two hundred countries or territories. However, in some points of sales many of them American stood for their sales and all that due to their bad environmental practices, it was also announced that more than 150 universities including Atlanta, Toronto, California, Berlin or those of Ireland haveCoca-Cola expelled from his campus.

In 2004 he used 283.000 million liters of water, which would allow drinking water for 47 days a year to people who do not currently have drinking water in the world. Coca-Cola products contribute to not only environmental problems but also to health problems, including obesity, diabetes and dental problems.

In 2005, any product manufactured in India was constantly rejected since it was considered that it was not safely safe. A sector of the population of India is opposing the sale of soda dueUnderground waters this results in tens of thousands of people without water. Coca-Cola uses 2.7 liters of water per liter in India uses 4 liters of water, which, three liters of water is contaminated and returned without any purification which is deposited in the neighboring fields, thus contaminating the soils andGroundwater.

Chemical analyzes confirm that in India Coca-Cola products have high levels of pesticides, this means higher percentages than those allowed by US and European authorities. Since 1998 the Coca-Cola Factory in Plachimana (India) contaminates the land, water and air in the area, and the number of diseases increases. In addition it dries the wells as of March 2004, this factory has been closed by preventing the use of underground water resources that are community property.

On the other hand, the soda drink has also presented problems in Mexico, where irrational exploitation of the richest aquifer in the area of San Cristóbal de las Casas has been found in the state of Chiapas. Analysis of the waters used for their industrial processes have been carried out, which results in that they contain twice the lead allowed by the authorities.

In 2003 Panama sanctioned the Coca-Cola company with 300.000 dollars to contaminate the Matasnillo River, the Bay of Panama and the city’s ecosystem. In addition in 1991, a Colombian court states that Coca Cola sold her contaminated drinks.

Therefore Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg, in 1999, withdraw their products from the market because they are contaminated by mold, carbon dioxide and other forms of bacterial contamination, this resulted in more than two hundred people. Since its products contained an excess of carbon dioxide in the bottles, as well as razides in the pallets for the transport of their cans.

Coca-Cola currently presents a commitment and social responsibility to the environment, the first activities I carry out to demonstrate its commitment to the environment was the reduction of its carbon footprint and the use of water in a responsible manner.

Therefore, the company uses technology efficiently in the production and packaging process, which is being obtained significantly the amount of water used. In addition, projects financed by Coca-Cola in collaboration with non-governmental organization (NGOs), universities and other entities contribute to saving and recovering millions of liters of water each year.

Fortunately, in recent years there hasthe significant reduction of waste generated.

The energy that is used in the manufacture of the products of the Coca-Cola company is green energy and comes from renewable energy. Since 2013 they have managed to reduce 42% of their carbon footprint, in addition Coca-Cola Spain is a pioneer and leader of the use of materials from sustainable forests with FSC certification, which thus reduces the emissions of CO2 and bringing with it aHigh social responsibility with the environment.

conclusion

Finally, in the realization of this essay, it could be investigated and announced that social responsibility with the environment refers to each individual committing to respect the environment, through a rational use of natural resources and intervening against pollution in additionPromote the use of raw materials and natural resources.

Social responsibility with the environment is the positive or negative appreciation for the ecological impact of a disposition, which refers to the damage caused to other species, nature or future generations, by the actions or non-actions of anotherindividual or group.

In summary to achieve a more careful and reasonable world, it is the task of the whole society, each individual must consider or implement appropriate measures not to pollute the environment. People must measure their possibilities and responsibility to be promoting respect for the environment and always with a positive purpose which is to leave a green and healthy planet to those who come behind us.
