Dagny Buehler-Thierfelder, TÜV Rheinland Holding
TÜV Rheinland HoldingIn Karnataka, one of the fastest-growing states of India, officials have become aware of the increasing pollution and exploitation of natural resources by the major industries and the growing population.

Self-assessment Regarding Respect for Human Rights
Christian Coutin, SEB Groupe
Marianne Tisserand, SEB Groupe
SEB GroupeAs world economies become globalized, the new challenge is to ensure that multinational corporations can be held accountable not only for the impact of their activities on human beings but also for their respect of Human Rights. To date, there is no supranational legal institution with the appropriate means to enforce human rights in a mandatory way. Companies that agree to assume responsibility do so voluntarily. But for an international firm, ensuring that Human Rights are respected can be quite difficult.

Thus, BASF in 2006 initiated a program called “1+3”, which mobilises and supports its partners and suppliers in China to improve their corporate social responsibility (CSR). more[...]
