1. Right Answer: A
Explanation: Volunteering gives people a chance to learn new skills while representing the organization. Job sharing and rotation may improve an organization's effectiveness and productivity but not perceptions of its brand by external stakeholders. Outsourcing, if performed without due diligence, can hurt the organization's brand, but performed appropriately it will affect productivity and effectiveness rather than brand.

2. Right Answer: D
Explanation: Volunteering can allow employees to learn new skills while helping in the community.

3. Right Answer: C
Explanation: Because of the manufacturer's business model, it makes sense for HR to recommend to management that suppliers' workplaces be audited for conditions that would violate local laws and/or the organization's own values and ethical code. The employee suggestion program has probably already been considered as part of an engagement program. Compiling a list of green products is outside HR's area of expertise. The manufacturer and HR cannot impose their code of ethics on a supplier, who must develop a code that complies with local laws, customs, and their own values. HR could, however, include review of such a code in their compliance audit of suppliers.

4. Right Answer: D
Explanation: The GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards are universally accepted for global reporting of an organization's sustainability efforts and progress, enabling meaningful and consistent comparisons of multinational organizations' sustainability performance.

5. Right Answer: A
Explanation: While all of these may occur as a result of successfully implementing an employee volunteerism program, they are not all considered business benefits. Strengthening the company's brand and reputation is a business benefit. The others are benefits to the employees and/or the work environment.

6. Right Answer: D
Explanation: Regulations reflect how laws will be implemented and often have the force of law. An amendment is a modification to the Constitution or a law. A bill is a proposal presented to a legislative body for possible enactment as a statute. An executive order is a directive for a governmental unit.

7. Right Answer: C
Explanation: Common law is based on judicial decisions rather than legislative actions. Because these legal precedents can change over time, common law can evolve gradually.

8. Right Answer: A
Explanation: Regulations are proposed, adopted, and enforced by administrative agencies. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Labor Standards Act are both examples of statutes. An interpretation of legal matters related to expatriation is an example of an agency guideline.

9. Right Answer: C
Explanation: An executive order is a directive originating from the chief executive of a governmental unit.

10. Right Answer: C
Explanation: When the chief executive of a governmental unit Β refuses to sign a bill or statute passed by the legislature, it is known as a veto.
