Netflix CSR
Introduction
Our assigned company, Netflix, does not have a sustainability report in their form 10-K, nor do they have any mention to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) that can be located on their webpage. After an exhausting search through third party sites, it has been determined that Netflix has no mention of CSR. So, in that vein, we accepted the challenge in designing a CSR report for Netflix.

Social Responsibility:
“We’re committed to being a good corporate citizen through initiatives that creates public parks for the children, volunteerism, and charity awareness.”
Through initiatives that Netflix has started in the communities that we share a public space with, we have started the Netflix Public Park program. With this program, Netflix is investing in the future of our children by providing materials for the building of safe, environmentally conscientious parks for the children to enjoy. These parks are built from durable plastics and woods that have been either recycled or of a ‘clean’ environmentally safe footprint. These parks are purchased through a grant made possible from the Reed Hastings (our CEO) Initiative and Netflix’s own corporate funding. The materials are then donated to the local community, and with volunteers from Netflix, the community at large, and the city these parks are being built.
Volunteering is not just regulated to the building of parks. We, at Netflix, believe that our employees are valued and are unsurpassed in their dedication to not only our company but to the consumers as well. To demonstrate this, we have a policy of 10 hours per month of paid time will be donated by the company to assist in volunteerism. This means that each employee can ‘donate’ 10 paid hours each month to their charity of choice. Some examples of the
