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

*Oxfam , Health policy advisor, Mohga Smith: 01865 312610; msmith@oxfam.org.

*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.
