Supermarket chain Waitrose says it will pay it's supplier famers in South Africa more out of profits and not increase the cost to shoppers here.


link to the story in The guardian June 6th (business section)

But is it really anything more than 'ethicswash' ???

if they're actually going to DO what they say they're going to do then it's not greenwash (unless of course they pay them 0.0000001 % more in which case it doesn't really count!)

If they don't do it, then we should start some sort of campaign (or support whatever campaign has already been started).

things do change sometimes you know
