  • A Far-reaching Approach to Raising Labor Practices in Agriculture

    Miguel Coleta
    Philip Morris International

    When Human Rights Watch unveiled their research in 2009 on child labor and other labor issues related to tobacco-growing in Kazakhstan, it prompted Philip Morris International (PMI) to rethink the way it was addressing these issues. Although the company already had efforts in place, clearly they were insufficient to gain visibility into these issues and address child labor. This prompted PMI to seek the advice of Verité (a leading NGO in supply chain responsibility) and to adopt a new approach aimed at systematically addressing child labor, resulting in the launch of PMI’s global Agricultural Labor Practices (ALP) program in 2011.  more[...]

  • Compliance

    Korruption, Vetternwirtschaft, Nicht-Einhaltung von Regeln. Täglich berichten wir Medien über immer neue Fälle von Selbstbedienung und Kleptokratie. Die Welt agiert nachdem Motto „Jedem das seine, mir das Meiste.“ Liegt es also nicht eher in der Natur des Menschen, Regeln zu brechen und seinen eigenen Vorteil zu wahren? Helmut Schmidt, Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker und andere sagen laut „Nein“ und fordern eindringlich in einem Manifest: „Wir haben es satt, in einer Raffgesellschaft zu leben, in der Korruption nicht mehr die Ausnahme ist und in der sich allzu vieles nur ums Geldverdienen dreht. Es gibt Wichtigeres im Leben des Einzelnen wie auch im Leben der Nation.“ Tatsächlich ist Regelkonformität, neudeutsch nennt sich das Compliance, möglich, sinnvoll und umsetzbar. In diesem Kapitel beleuchten wir Ansätze, diskutieren zentrale Aspekte wie Whistleblowing und Leitbilder und geben gute Praxisbeispiele.  more[...]

  • Reporting

    An increasing number of companies and organizations want to make their operations sustainable and contribute to sustainable development. Sustainability reporting can help organizations to measure, understand and communicate their economic, environmental, social and governance performance. Sustainability – the ability for something to last for a long time, or indefinitely – is based on performance in these four key areas. Systematic sustainability reporting helps organizations to measure the impacts they cause or experience, set goals, and manage change. A sustainability report is the key platform for communicating sustainability performance and impacts – whether positive or negative. Source: GRI  more[...]
