MMM132 Insights into CSR and UN SDGs: Examining Coles Group's Role in Sustainability and Equality

The demand for the implementation and consideration of CSR among the millennial generation has been growing in the present era, as people have become more aware of social issues (Chatzopoulou & de Kiewiet, 2021). The pandemic of Covid-19 has caused people to switch towards more environment-friendly, socially acceptable and sustainable products, as consumers now consider the sustainability practices implemented and applied by organisations while manufacturing and bringing products into the market (Vătămănescu et al., 2021).
