'BUSINESS ACTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS CONFERENCE', Oct 26/27, London

Noisy Joe | 23.10.2004 11:19 | London

It's sham time. Thought you should know what bullshit is bubbling in the seething toxic cauldron that is 'Corporate Social Responsibility'. Shame in particular on:
*Founder-Chair of the Amnesty International UK Business Group, Sir Geoffrey Chandler:  information@amnesty.org.uk
*International Alert, Project Director, Jessica Banfield:  general@international-alert.org
*Humanist Committee for Human Rights, Holland, Marina d'Engelbronner:  info@globalreporting.org
*Danish Institute for Human Rights, Christina Schultz:  center@humanrights.dk
*Oxfam , Health policy advisor, Mohga Smith: 01865 312610;  msmith@oxfam.org.
uk
*Amnesty, Campaign coordinator Economic Relations and Human Rights, Alessandra Masci
These organisations are part of the problem in the way that they help to provide companies with a smokescreen to continue business as usual. Let them know how you feel, especially if you have any links with them.


(For more info on what some of these companies (particularly BP) really do, rather than what they spend millions telling us they do, see
