Abstract
This presentation is a review of the literature on business and human rights and Corporate Social Responsibility. Globalization has lead to human rights and business being a combined topic. The United Nations and other countries have began to recognize human rights with labor regulations due to the misconduct in applied legislation. Our research focuses on the country of Myanmar also known as Burma. The United States in particular has had a long history working with Myanmar. During the 2000's American companies have been developing strict labor policies. Through research, companies discovered that implementing business policies and labor regulations programs increase the community's development. A case study shows how Coca-Cola worked in Myanmar to form a strategic plan assisting Myanmar's community. Through corporate responsibility and labor solidarity, companies can work in high-risk environments and achieve positive outcomes.
