The companies that practice cause-related marketing are more concerned about the profit they
will make in doing so over actually making a difference.

The Takeaway:Don’t let companies fool you into thinking that they want to contribute to the greater good of society by simply “donating a portion of profits to charity”.
Buy from the companies that practice corporate social responsibility.
They are the ones that truly want to make a change in the world.
