Example:

Nike paid 255 Million $ on income taxes in only the first quarter of 2015 and did not get in conflict with the law

To reach level 2 and 3, Nike should:

Take responsibility for their manufacturing companies, pay more wage, improve working conditions and stop child labor to get rid of the negativity

To reach level 3, they could also invest in the infrastructure of the region where they let produce the shoes. For example, they could voluntary donate an specific amount to help building schools in that area

Level 2: Organizational

Should also be in the interest of all companies

No company is happy with negativity surrounding itself and is therefore dependent on minimizing negative effects

Example:

In order to avoid negative publicity for paying only the minimum wage, Amazon pays 12.50$ an hour in California instead of the official minimum wage of 10$/hours

To reach level 3, Amazon could:

Voluntary pay for regular health checks of their workers
