CSR is all about the impacts they make through their decisions & what effects it can have on the environment.
Disney is all about embodying CSR as their business model.
For example: Disney always show their appreciation for their employees
As for movies, Disney promotes environmental education in their Disneynature documentary films
and another portion of the profit will go to help save 50,000 wildlifes in Africa.
A portion of the profit will then go to help the 3 million trees that are being threatened in the Atlantic Forest located in Brazil.
Volunteerism is also a big thing for Disney, they offer a program called "free tickets to a million people in exchange for a day of volunteer service from an organization of their choice"
This encouraged over 1 million people in the US to contribute volunteering in their community.
Provides many benefits for their workers such as opportunities to attend movie premieres
There are many companies + stocks under Disney's name:
Marvel Entertainment
Lucasfilms Ltd.
Pixar Animation Studios
Capital Cities/ABC
21th Century Fox (TFCF corp.)
Disney stocks: DIS
Disney is reached 13th in the 26 stock media diversified group
But due to COVID-19 & the influence it has made on their business, their sales & profits have gone down a lot.
In fact, Disney has lost over $1 billion due to closures.
Therefore, making the Disney stock worth watching only and not worth buying at the moment.

Time when profit drops & sales decrease immensely.
This can be the time where Disney needs to make a choice:
Or get rid of the product completely & make it a "seasonal" item, can possibly bring it back if the demand is high for it from Disney fans.
Adding more deals & other benefits to the product. (ex. could be "buy 1 get 1 free")
Adding discounts to the product. (ex. 50% off of the product)
Slowdown in sales growth; product has achieved acceptance.
Profit levels decrease due to competition.
This can be the time to add any modification if needed.
Modifying the market the product is in.
Modifying the marketing strategy.
Modifying the product itself.
Relying on customers to enjoy the product & would come back for second time & so on.
Then Disney would choose to add some sort of promotion in the 2nd time purchase to encourage consumers to keep spending money on their company.
Or adding other bundle packages with free meals or restaurant discounts with the purchase.
Products are accepted in the market & profits increase in value.
& other costs for putting the plan together
Fixed costs
Marketing costs
Operating expenses
Sales growth is low, profit is 0.
Ex. when Disney first released their bundle packages, the start up costs were high & there was little to no profit.
Company finds new product from ideas of certain employees, managers, & Walt himself.
Costs go up, sales are 0.

Walt often treats his employees like family
However, once he moved to his new studio, his attitude & ego changed
He began to show prejudice towards Jewish & African Americans
Sometimes, he would fire employees who disagreed with his final decisions
Many employees chose to stay silence oftentimes as they don't want to be fired
Many employees quit their job as seeing Walt down the halls made them fear
Communication & Culture
Disney employees value different cultures & will try to incorporate them into different products & services (clothes, foods..)
Motivation is key
Managers tech employees how to stay on top of their job & be motivated to work
Many employees are often left with unforgettable memories
When hiring, Disney is often very open & relaxed, asking people "who are their favorite Disney characters?" or putting them in different scenarios to see their decision-making skills, never anything too serious.
Disney managers would often cheer up the crowd's mood by calling their employees who are playing characters in a show as "cast members" to make the employees less nervous in certain situations.
Disney overall treats every employee with kindness, however, Walt sometimes demonstrates anger when he is not in a good mood, leaving certain workers with unsatisfied moments
Disney has many different network but there are branches to each of them.....

Sales
Food
Disney is also very cautious on who to hire &who to fire through the prepartation tests given to them
managers usually provide clear instructions to employees when given tasks
"it's not a secret. We've always tried to manage by our values because when you know what your values are, decision-making is easier". - Walt Disney
Walt will then provide managers with instructions, then managers will give employees tasks to complete; chain reaction.
Setting regular meetings with their employees & managers when ideas are provided & thought of.
The final product can be completely different from the idea since the beginning.
They set long-term goals which will continue to change overtime !
Then, they present the idea to their CEO (Walt) for approval
They set their goals high so they can be different & achieve them !
There are over 2.5 million square feet of active greenhouse that helps grow certain food supplies used in Disney.
Plus, they use innovative methods to grow the foods, using less space, fertilizer, water, & pesticides.
Aquaponics: combination of Hydroponics & aquaculture, which is growing plants on top of a fish tank, so the fish can provide as a natural fertilizer for the plants & the plants keep the water clean. Therefore producing more & creating less.
Aeroponics: similiar to Hydroponics but instead of using a stream of water to feed the plants, the root of the plants actually dangle in the air so every now & then, there can be a mist of atomized nutrients sprayed into the roots.
Hydroponics: growing plants with just water & nutrients
They grow HUGE tomatoes, 9-pound lemons, Mickey shaped pumpkins, & more!
Food supplies will then be taken to the food service operations branch of Disney to be made & distribute to customers.
When these 2 disneylands were compared to each other, many people actually found a big comparison & many experiences were very different in a negative way.
however, many have also claimed that Hong Kong disneyland is good but when compared to other disneylands, it is far from achieving a greater experience & time
Having differences in different locations should be a good thing but if negatively impacted, then maybe not so great. Disney could possibly adjust the negatives & make all the locations unique in their own ways instead of making it not enjoyable?
Many have said that the Disney in Hong Kong lacks customer service and the food was very limited, plus the designs of many things are badly different.
However, many bloggers have complaint that there was no view whatsoever and walking distance to everywhere are all so far away.
Maybe Disney should let fans understand the reason why the room itself is cheaper compared to other rooms or else this can potentially ruin the experience for many Disney lovers.
The pro to this amazing deluxe resort is the inexpensive fee you pay to live there, & the room can fit up to 12 people !
ex. every year during Christmas time, there would be decorations everywhere in Main Street, USA, Disney hotels/resorts, Disney merch & seasonal foods, etc...
However, the stunning decorations would often cause a big crowd at wherever the beauty would be & many fans began to get mad at the fact that not everyone was able to see the decorations up close.
Maybe Disney should find a solution to this small problem? Or else triggering fans will no longer support the company & this can lead to decrease in attention.
