Today our schedule was free! We had nothing to do in particular. Therefore, I went out to see my senior from high school. It was very nice to see her because I have not seen her for almost four years. First we met at the hotel lobby before walking to the Sydney Opera House together, which took around fifteen minutes. Then, we decided to take a free bus to see the view around Sydney, but at the end we changed the plan a little bit because Katie, who still stayed in the hotel, called me and said that she wanted to go to Sydney Opera House as well. Therefore, we had to take a bus to go back to the hotel and came to Opera House again. Unfortunately, my senior cannot stay with me for any longer because she had a part-time job, so we did not take a bus to see the view around Sydney together.
However, it was a coincidence that during we were in the bus, Katie met her cousin and his friends, who are currently studying in Sydney; therefore, we asked them to guide us around Sydney. We got off at Opera House, took photos and then went to the Rocks Market before having coffee at Starbucks.
At Starbucks, I saw a poster about its CSR with Starbucks’ coffee farmers whose coffee is 100% responsibly grown and ethically traded. This shown that nowadays CSR becomes more and more important in the business point of view, as more customers and the community pay attention to what the company has done in order to help the society and the world. Another example in terms of CSR can easily be seen from the hotel as well, as we can see that these days each hotel will have a sigh asking whether we want to change towels or not. In other word, this is so-called ‘an environmentally friendly service.’ For the Grace hotel that we stayed in Sydney, the shampoos, hair conditioners and body lotions packaging were all mentioned ‘eco.fresh’ inferring of ‘environmental friendly’ product.
