October 28, 2010. CLW investigated two Adidas supplier factories in Dongguan, Guangdong Province and one supplier factory in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province. Following the investigations, CLW produced this case study report which focuses on the limitations of the current Adidas Group Code of Conduct (Workplace Standard) by comparing CLW's findings on Adidas suppliers in 2002, 2008 and 2010. In short, multinational companies should enable dialogue for workers and trade unions, and provide them with the opportunity to build an equitable relationship. The public should also support independent labor organizations, since the social responsibilities of companies will not be fulfilled without their supervision. NGOs should exercise due diligence while cooperating with multinational brand companies, and maintain their independence.

August 10,2010 According to our recent investigations of four factories producing for Dollar General Corporation (DGC), DGC’s suppliers in China have the worst labor condition performance compared with all major U.S. retailers. These factories that DGC are cooperating with do not comply with China’s Labor Law: physical workplace safety is not guaranteed; basic protective equipment is not provided; workers are mandated to work extensively long hours and paid at or below the minimum wage…CLW urges DGC to respect workers�� rights and take responsibility to improve the working conditions in its supply chain.

May 20, 2010 In our investigations of four factories producing for Carrefour, all of them violated China’s related laws in one aspect or another. Carrefour clearly needs to set up a comprehensive monitoring system, pay rates that are conducive to obedience of the law and establish long-term relationships with its suppliers. And it must take the time to read China’s laws: the rules in those laws are not unduly complex and they should be followed to the letter, just as we would expect Carrefour to do at home in France.

January 14, 2010. CLW reported last month on worker exploitation in factories where Dollar General products are made. DG sells sweatshop goods to cash-strapped American consumers while KKR, the investment firm controlling most of DG's shares, profits off of this exploitation. Write DG and KKR today and tell them to respect human rights!

January 8, 2010. In December, CLW released a report about corruption in the audit process of Paris-based inspection and certification giant, Bureau Veritas. CLW discovered that BV's anti-corruption work failed systematically during a long-term study of audit corruption covering 80 factories. BV conducts audits for many multinational corporations and this corruption seriously damages worker rights. Tell them it must end now!
