Project task:The Covid pandemic has been a global challenge for businesses worldwide. In response, firms have been engaging in various activities to address the crisis, accounting for needs of various stakeholders, such as employees, customers, suppliers, and communities/society. Especially large and successful companies have been under pressure to act appropriately and responsibly. In this project your task is to examine in greater detail the Covid-related strategic responses of a Fortune Global 500 firm based on information available on the Internet. After identifying the company’s products and services, industry, major clients, values and mission/vision statement, you are asked to find out about the company’s Covid-related strategic responses to four major stakeholder groups (employees, customers, suppliers, communities/society). Finally, you are expected to assess to what extent the company’s Covid response strategy reflects or goes beyond (or perhaps against) their values, mission and vision statement. Please answer all three questions:

(1)Identify the company’s major products and services, industry, major (type of) clients, values, and mission/vision statement.

(2)Identify how the company (if at all) has addressed the Covid crisis with respect to four major stakeholder groups: employees, customers, suppliers, community/society.

(3)Evaluate the extent to which the company’s Covid responses reflect their values and mission/vision statement
