  • two global surveys conducted in 2008 by Mc- Kinsey. "How Virtue Creates Value for Business and Society" stated, among other conclusions, that while investors often see corporate responsibility as part of the company's long-term strategy, 50 percent of corporate responsibility officers surveyed view it primarily as avoiding trouble, rather than a positive force for change.


  • Campbell has a presence in 120 countries with such brands as V8, Pepperidge Farm, Goldfish crackers and Franco-American sauces. Last year, it ranked second among American companies perceived by the U.S. public as the most socially responsible, according to the Corporate Social Responsibility Index of the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship and the Reputation Institute.
  • At Wharton, Stangis focused on an enduring challenge for corporate responsibility professionals: building and maintaining support within one's own company, especially in a recession, when indiscriminate do-gooding will invariably raise eyebrows among cost-conscious colleagues.

      The March, 2011, Harper's Index expressed the point this way: "Number of American civilians who died worldwide in terrorist attacks last year: 8 - Minimum number who died after being struck by lightning: 29."  That's the threat in the name of which a vast domestic Security State is constructed, wars and other attacks are and continue to be launched, and trillions of dollars are transferred to the private security and defense contracting industry at exactly the time that Americans - even as they face massive wealth inequality - are told that they must sacrifice basic economic security because of budgetary constraints.

      A Rumpus Lamentation on What We Lost Say you took the long view of September 11, 2001, the view from the heavens, the view of a compassionate celestial being. From up there, you'd see that approximately 150,000 earthlings died that day. Most of these deaths were caused by malnutrition and age-related illnesses, roughly 1500 were murders, hundreds more were due to civil wars. Also, 2,977 Americans were killed in terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington. *** A lot of human beings died, that's my point. They all left behind mourners. Imagine the mother who watched her child die of hunger. Here's this tiny person, a daughter. She has a name, a face. She doesn't explode or fall from a skyscraper. She simply stops breathing. No cameras record her final moment, the lamentation of that mother. These images are not replayed on the television over and over and over. What would be the point of that? *** I recently went on a radio program to discuss the literature of 9/11. The host spent most of the hour chatting with people about their memories. They all talked about watching television. They were telling personal stories about watching television.

    Radical Islam stirs in China's remote west - 0 views

    shared by anonymous on 28 Jul 08 - Cached
    • In a backstreet of the old Silk Road city of Kashgar, Chinese authorities have been spray-painting signs on dusty mud brick walls to warn against what it says is a new enemy -- the Islamic Liberation Party.
    • China says Hizb ut-Tahrir are terrorists operating in the far western region of Xinjiang, home to some 8 million Muslim, Turkic-speaking Uighurs, many of whom chafe under Chinese rule.
    • As in another strife-hit Chinese region, Tibet, many Uighurs resent the growing economic and cultural impact of Han Chinese who have in some cases been encouraged by the government to move to far-flung and under-populated parts of the country. Beijing accuses militant Uighurs of working with al Qaeda to use terror to bring about an independent state called East Turkestan.

    • But it seems unlikely they represent the threat to Xinjiang that China likes to portray, said Dru Gladney, a Uighur expert and president of the Pacific Basin Institute at Pomona College, California. "For most Uighurs who are activists, though some of them are very religious in their Islam, their main goal is sovereignty for Xinjiang. Hizb ut-Tahrir doesn't support that. They support a worldwide Caliphate, not any one independent region," he said.
    • In Kashgar, a city close to the Pakistan and Afghan borders, some women not only cover their heads, but also veil their faces. In some cases, dark brown cloths envelope the whole head. Clocks in many mosques, restaurants, cafes and shops are set to Xinjiang time. This is two hours behind Beijing time, the official standard for the entire country, which means China's sun does not set until after 10 p.m. in Kashgar in the summer.
    • Many are not convinced Hizb ut-Tahrir is the threat the Chinese government says it is in Xinjiang. "This does not exist. They have come up with this group's name themselves," said Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the exiled World Uyghur Congress. "They are trying to mislead the world and deflect from concern for the Uighur people."
    • China maintains the threat is real. Hizb ut-Tahrir is likewise banned in countries such as Uzbekistan, where it has also been blamed for violence.
    • In November, China's Xinhua news agency announced sentences ranging from death to life in jail for six Uighurs accused of "splittism and organising and leading terrorist groups", and implicated Hizb ut-Tahrir.
    • "What we want is simple -- freedom," said a Uighur resident of Xinjiang's regional capital, Urumqi, who asked not be identified, fearing repercussions with the authorities. "But there are too many Han and too few of us."

    • Für die Schockwirkung der "Peter Stuyvesant" können auch die Reemtsma-Leute nur einen einzigen wirklich einleuchtenden Grund nennen: den wohlberechneten Appell an Geltungstrieb und verborgene Sehnsüchte der bundesdeutschen Raucher.
    • Die 235 westdeutschen Zigarettensorten wurden kürzlich um eine weitere vermehrt, deren Name "Peter Stuyvesant" nicht eben leicht über eine deutsche Zunge kommt. Der Entschluß zu einer so aussichtslos erscheinenden Neuerung wurde im Glaspalast der Reemtsma-Verwaltungsie domiziliert in der Parkstraße des Hamburger Vororts Othmarschen - gefaßt und erwies sich inzwischen als wahrer Geniestreich der westdeutschen Zigarettenkönige Philipp und Hermann Reemtsma.
    • Die "Peter Stuyvesant" kam zunächst nur in Norddeutschland auf den Markt, und die Firma Reemtsma konnte dort binnen vier Wochen einen Anteil von 10 Prozent am Gesamtumsatz der Filterzigaretten verzeichnen.

    TP: Boykott, Desinvestment und Sanktionen - 0 views

    • Israel gerät durch die internationale Boykottkampagne zunehmend unter Druck Die Meldungen über Boykottinitiativen, den Abzug von Investitionen aus oder Sanktionen gegen Israel häufen sich. Im September hat der britische Gewerkschaftsverband TUC auf Antrag der Gewerkschaft der Feuerwehrleute den Boykott aller Produkte aus israelischen Siedlungen beschlossen und die Einstellung der Waffenlieferungen an Israel sowie die Aussetzung des Assoziierungsabkommens der EU mit Israel gefordert. Im selben Monat wurde in Spanien eine in der Westbanksiedlung Ariel gelegene Hochschule von einem akademischen Wettbewerb zur nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung ausgeschlossen. In Brasilien sprach sich die für Außenpolitik und nationale Verteidigung zuständige parlamentarische Kommission gegen die Ratifizierung des Mercosur-Freihandelsabkommens mit Israel aus. In der Schweiz hat anläßlich des WM-Qualifikationsspiels zwischen Israel und der Schweiz gerade eine Kampagne zum Ausschluß Israels aus der FIFA begonnen.

    • n Frankreich setzen Aktivist/inn/en die Carrefour-Supermarktkette, im Vereinigten Königreich die Tesco-Supermärkte und in den USA Trader Joe unter Druck, israelische Waren aus ihrem Sortiment zu nehmen.
    • In Europa und den USA gehören kritische jüdische Gruppen neben den Migrantencommunities zu den aktivsten Teilen der BDS-Bewegung. Das spiegelt die zunehmende Entfremdung der jüdischen Communities von der israelischen Politik bzw. dem Zionismus wider. Auch einige israelische Organisationen und Persönlichkeiten wie zum Beispiel das Alternative Information Center und der Menschenrechtsaktivist Neve Gordon rufen zum Boykott auf. Das macht es für die israelische Regierung und prozionistische pressure groups sehr schwer, wenn nicht unmöglich, die BDS-Kampagne mit einiger Glaubwürdigkeit als antisemitisch denunzieren zu können.
    • ...3 more annotations...
    • Die BDS-Kampagne hat bereits einige Erfolge erreicht. Schon im Februar 2009 meldete die israelische Presse, daß der Verkauf israelischer Waren aufgrund des Boykotts um 21% zurückgegangen ist.
    • Diese Entwicklung wird von israelischen und US-amerikanischen Zionisten als äußerst bedrohlich angesehen. Der Journalist Ethan Bronner beschrieb die Situation bereits im März 2009 in der New York Times als die schlimmste diplomatische Krise, die Israel in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten erlebt hat. Der israelische Botschafter in den USA, Michael Oren, bezeichnete die Boykottkampagne im Mai in einem Artikel der neokonservativen Zeitschrift "Commentary" sogar als eine der "sieben existentiellen Bedrohungen" Israels.
    • Das israelische Außenministerium hat Gelder zur Verfügung gestellt, um Israels Ansehen in der Welt durch kulturelle und informelle Diplomatie zu verbessern. Israel hat seit 2006 bereits mehrere Millionen Dollar in eine "rebranding"-Kampagne gesteckt, mit der das Image des Landes aufpoliert werden sollte- bisher ohne Erfolg. Arye Mekel, stellvertretender Generaldirektor für kulturelle Angelegenheiten im israelischen Außenministerium, kündigte im März an, daß Israel bekannte Schriftsteller, Theaterensembles und Ausstellungen ins Ausland schicken wird, um Israels "hübscheres Gesicht" zu zeigen, damit das Land nicht nur mit Krieg in Verbindung gebracht wird[2]. Beispiele für Israels Propagandaauftritte nach dem Krieg sind die "Tel Aviv- Strände", die in Wien und New York aufgebaut wurden, um Israel mit Parties und Spaß in Verbindung zu bringen.
