    Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes, and mental disorders are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide.

It is estimated that these diseases are responsible for as many as 36 million premature deaths each year. According to the World Health Organization, almost three-quarters of NCD-related deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, where access to healthcare is limited.  more[...]

    Gregor Hilkert
    Merck

    The mineral mica often lends products their alluring sheen, whether it is lipstick, eye shadows, or automotive coatings. The coveted raw material is mined in various locations, including the states of Jharkhand and Bihar in northern India, a region marked by political instability and poverty and where child labor is widespread. Merck also uses mica as the main raw material for its effect pigments. The science and technology company flatly rejects child labor and advocates for safe working conditions of the mine workers. In addition, Merck supports educational and health projects that improve the lives of families in the mining areas.  more[...]

  • 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[...]

    Sanofi

This agreement is not just a climate agreement; it is also a major health agreement.
