DYK there is a positive correlation between unionisation rates & reduced CO2 emmisions? Looking forward to @electrowatch #FOASummit21

[RachelHorigan @RachelHorigan]

Too often companies measure their #humanrights performance based on whats easy to count - not what matters most: outcomes for people. Great to see this new tool @shiftproject to evaluate business respect for human rights

‘Environmentally sound’ activities wont be sustainable if based on poor working conditions. Fully support EU’s proposal to extend #greentaxonomy to social issues to set out a clear global standard on what good looks like. https://t.co/duGI24HMNg

No clear correlation between a garments price/ how ethical it is. Consumers need to vote with their wallets but responsibility lies with brands and govt to fix a broken system. https://t.co/aKqbSqrRo0

Calls for the EU to mandate companies specifically address purchasing practices at all steps of the HRDD process, and for purchasing practices to be explicitly considered within the reporting obligations.

This is the US National Security Advisor tweeting about forced labour. Expect more of this. Enforcement of intl labour standards is now a key US-China differentiator. Expect action on multiple fronts from the G7 to the @WTO to the SEC, from fish to cotton to solar energy.

Whoa! US Customs block @UniqloUSA cargo of shirts under Tariff Act WRO banning cotton products from XPCC company that use forced/convict labour in #Xinjiang. Interesting that Uniqlo's protest was denied. Uniqlo's #HRDD put in serious doubt. #bizhumanrights https://t.co/8MFuOYyfsa

With growing scrutiny, boards will need to explain why poverty wages in global supply chains are permissible.

Boohoo could be banned from the US as "modern slavery" allegations continue https://t.co/rdddrhsKhV

[RachelHorigan @RachelHorigan]

It can’t be up to consumers to police #ModernSlavery - govt needs to step up & also level the playing field for businesses https://t.co/SJio7qXFWT

Love that my delicious @clarenceN16 meal came with clear instructions on how to actually #recycle the packaging

Congrats team Sancroft! https://t.co/meip3RGTc0

Extraordinary

MPs vote 353 to 277 to deprive themselves of powers to scrutinise & approve new trade deals

Why on earth are so many Tories so keen to weaken parliament? And so complicit in their own diminution?

Astonishing act of self-sabotage

Victims of #modernslavery to sue waste company on the basis that they have a duty to prevent modern slavery. https://t.co/b8SeKTgc4g

[RachelHorigan @RachelHorigan]

Agree need to go beyond #modernslavery reporting requirements to tackle #forcedlabour - inc #mHRDD legislation https://t.co/NKMCHpK6PL

I share my views on HMG’s new policy announcement on China forced labour alongside @chloe_cranston
Though welcome it’s a missed opportunity for much needed change

Pressure is mounting on businesses to clean up their #SupplyChains from #ForcedLabour in Leicester to deforestation in Brazil. My latest @Sancroft insight examines the growing trend of mandatory #HumanRights and environmental due diligence measures #mHRDD

[RachelHorigan @RachelHorigan]

A growing number of fashion brands are embracing #OceanPlastics. While there's cause to celebrate tackling #PlasticPollution + using recycled materials, the environmental impact is ultimately questionable. I spoke to @jasminchua @BoF about this trend

Our latest #ESG Chart of the Week shows that the companies in our 2021 #JUST100 - many of which are leaders on worker issues in particular - outperform the market. Learn more here: https://t.co/GP8REd68r8

#COVID19 has exposed the fragility of our socio-economic systems. But it has also created an opportunity to rethink how we do business.

We’ve assembled a working group to bust myths around the ‘Social’ dimension of Environmental, Social & Governance investment criteria ⬇️
