Titre : Building on quicksand : the Global Compact, democratic governance and Nestlé Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Judith Richter, Auteur Editeur : Genève [Suisse] : CETIM Année de publication : October 2003 Importance : 56 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Entreprises multinationales Tags : Global Compact Gouvernance Nestlé ONG Index. décimale : 04.02 Entreprises Résumé : More than 4 years have passed since the UN Secretary General first announced the Global Compact, a high level interaction between the United Nations and the business community. From the start, various NGOs have been raising questions about its alleged benefits and its risks, about its underlying rationale and concrete approach. This publication, commissioned by Centre Europe-Tiers Monde (CETIM), Geneva Infant Feeding Association (GIFA-IBFAN) and Déclaration de Berne does not aim to summarize all of these concerns. It rather suggests focusing on two main lines of questioning. These two line emerge from the debates between the Global Compact proponents and its critics:
What is the value of the Global Compact in terms of changing corporate practices? More specifically, is it an arrangement that helps shift corporate practices towards the better - or is it rather an arrangement that helps corporations continue to do their business as usual and moreover confers on them additional protection from legally-binding regulation and public pressure?
What is the relationship between the Global Compact and global democratic governance? In other words: Does the Global Compact enhance - or undermine - efforts to promote democratic decision-making in a globalising world?
Both these questions are addressed at a theoretical level as well as by a case study focusing on the gaps between words and deeds, illustrated with the case of one of the latest prominent participants of the Global Compact: the food and beverage transnational Nestlé.
Dr. Judith Richter is author of Holding Corporations Accountable: Corporate Conduct, International Codes and Citizen Action, Zed Books, London and New York, 2001 and ‘We the Peoples’ or ‘We the corporations’, Critical reflections on UN-business partnerships, IBFAN-GIFA, January 2003.En ligne : http://www.ibfan.org/art/538-2.pdf Building on quicksand : the Global Compact, democratic governance and Nestlé [texte imprimé] / Judith Richter, Auteur . - Genève (6, rue Amat, 1202, Suisse) : CETIM, October 2003 . - 56 p.

Présentation : 04.06.REE Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Marchés Entreprises Régulation des entreprises Développement économique Conditions de travail Comptabilité Global Compact Global Reporting Initiative Brésil Forest Stewardship Council Marine Stewardship Council Grande distribution Wal-Mart Travail des enfants Asie du Sud Kimberley Process Diamants Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative Tribunal des Peuples Amérique latine Worker Rights Consortium Agriculture Commerce équitable Afrique Mines World Fair Trade Organization Fairtrade International Mexique Index. décimale : 04.03 - Gestion Résumé : This volume assesses the achievements and limitations of a new set of non-state or multistakeholder institutions that are concerned with improving the social and environmental record of business, and holding corporations to account. It does so from a perspective that aims to address two limitations that often characterize this field of inquiry. First, fragmentation: articles or books typically focus on one or a handful of cases. Second, the development dimension: what does such regulation imply for developing countries and subaltern groups in terms of well-being, empowerment and sustainability? This volume examines more than 20 initiatives or institutions associated with different regulatory and development approaches, including the business-friendly corporate social responsibility (CSR) agenda, 'corporate accountability' and 'fair trade' or social economy.
