question 12
a company’s supply chain is part of its corporate social responsibility because:
○ the facilities are outside the u.s.
○ international standards are adequate for environmental regulations.
○ the company is also responsible for its suppliers’ products and services.
○ a company’s supply chain is located solely in the u.s.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "The facilities are outside the U.S.": Location of facilities doesn't inherently relate to CSR. Eliminate.
• "International standards are adequate for environmental regulations": Adequacy of standards isn't the reason supply chain is part of CSR. Eliminate.
• "The company is also responsible for its suppliers’ products and services": In CSR, a company is accountable for its supply chain (suppliers) as their actions reflect on the company. This makes sense.
• "A company’s supply chain is located solely in the U.S.": Supply chain location (domestic or not) isn't the basis for CSR inclusion. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. The company is also responsible for its suppliers’ products and services.
