Titre : The profit behind your plate : critical issues in the processed food industry Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Myriam Vander Stichele, Auteur ; Sanne van der Wal, Auteur Editeur : SOMO Année de publication : December 2006 Importance : 129 p. Présentation : 04.03.STI Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Industrie agro-alimentaire Tags : Industrie agro-alimentaire Productivité Consommation Marchés Grande distribution RSE Index. décimale : 04.03 - Gestion Résumé : This SOMO report analyses the contribution that primary and full processing of food can make to poverty reduction and sustainable development within the current international context. First, the report provides insights into the level of production, sales and international trade of processed food. Next, it discusses the structural, market, private and government obstacles to exports and the development of a domestic processed food industry in developing countries. The report identifies the many problems which are still not sufficiently addressed in order to make food processing beneficial to all stakeholders and to sustainable development. However, the report does not focus on the critical issues of farmers and other suppliers to the processed food and drink industry. Processed food and drinks are usually produced in the country or region where it is consumed. Trade in processed food is only 6% of what is consumed worldwide. An important current trend affecting the whole processed food sector is that prices for processed food companies, from the top global brands to small food manufacturers, are under serious pressure from supermarket strategies and supply requirements. The study aims to provide arguments for civil society organisations to feed the debate on trade and investment, corporate accountability and globalisation. The final chapter provides arguments to make purchasing practices more equitable and give stakeholders more rights to seek remedies against the abuses of foreign food companies and supermarkets.

Titre : The Swiss Connection : The Role of Switzerland in Shell's Corporate Structure and Tax Planning Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Mark van Dorp, Auteur ; Kristof Racz, Auteur Editeur : SOMO Année de publication : May 2014 Autre Editeur : Bruxelles : Friends of the Earth Europe Importance : 23 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Fiscalité
Entreprises multinationalesTags : Shell Fiscalité Suisse Fuite des capitaux Résumé : The aim of this report is to highlight how Royal Dutch Shell uses its presence in Switzerland, a notorious tax haven and secrecy jurisdiction, to minimize its tax payments in other countries, including developing countries. At least since 2001, Shell may have been using Switzerland for tax purposes. In 2005 for example, the company shifted ownership of its brands and trade marks to a Swiss-based subsidiary, Shell Brands International AG. Research conducted for this report indicates that Shell has eight subsidiaries in Switzerland, most of which are not involved in productive activities. The main purpose of these entities is trademark management, ?nancial services, internal insurance, and trading activities for Shells worldwide oil and gas operations. Shells presence in Switzerland potentially allows the company to avoid paying a signi?cant amount of taxes in developing countries because Shell is able to exploit the speci?c advantages of the Swiss ?scal system to lower its pro?ts in developing countries, leading to lower tax payments there. The report concludes by making recommendations to Shell, including that the company should implement full country-by-country reporting, to live up to their claims of leadership in tax transparency. Policy recommendations are also made to the Swiss Government and to the European Union to end the facilitation of aggressive tax avoidance by multinational corporations.
